Thank you all.  I was unaware of the "port sync" command.  Doh!
After sync'ing, I did a "sudo port install tomcat5" and everything
worked like magic.

Tomcat5 is the tomcat 5 servlet container.

Tomcat-native is an extension to tomcat that provides a native (bare-
metal c) IO stack that sits on top of apache apr, and is primarily
used to speed IO operations when tomcat is front-ended by apache
httpd through the ajp protocol using mod_proxy_ajp or mod_jk. Note
that tomcat-native is purely an enhancement; all of the foregoing can
be done (and is usually done) using non-native java code. The
"native" code can speed things up a bit.

As mentioned otherwise, you need to update your ports.
