 Thanks for the quick response.

 I found the FAQ page specifies a minimum Java version (assuming it's not
 outdated): http://jmol.sourceforge.net/faqs/

 Previous versions of Java are not supported.

 This would suggest specifying Java 1.4 or higher in the port.

 There is the possibility of a maximum compatible Java version, but have
 not confirmed this is the case. I briefly looked for discussions of issues
 with more recent Java versions on the project's mailing list and issue
 tracker, and so far only came across issues building jmol from source with
 Java 9 or later: https://sourceforge.net/p/jmol/bugs/608/
 https://sourceforge.net/p/jmol/mailman/message/34860374/ . Since the port
 uses the binary distribution rather than builds from source, this
 shouldn't be an issue.

 If `jmol` appears to work with the Java 8 on your system, then using Java
 8 LTS as the fallback should be fine for now, and I believe is less likely
 to cause disruption than using Java 11 LTS. To clarify, the fallback
 version is what will be used if no other Java (version 1.4 or later)
 installation is already present.

 I have opened a pull request on GitHub with the changes I suggest making:
 https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/6636
