Could it be as simple as
# make -DWITHOUT_CUPS install
? I see no such possibility in either the config options or the Makefile
for jdk16, and google was no help.
I don't think it is possible. The Makefile lists CUPS as a build
dependency (UILD_DEPENDS):
% grep -n cups /usr/ports/java/jdk16Makefile
24: ${LOCALBASE}/include/cups/cups.h:${PORTSDIR}/print/cups-base
But I think it's possible to delete CUPS from the system after
JDK is compiled successfully: CUPS isn't listed in RUN_DEPENDS
so it doesn't seem to be required for running JDK / Java.
It's not like the disk space costs anything nowadays, but I chafe at
installing unneccesary bloat on my system. If it can't be done I'll
deal, but I'd like to stay CUPS-free if possible.
Same here, too. :-) Philosophy behind the idea: I don't want to
install software that I don't need / don't run.

Take a look at PR 120718.
