Comment (by PhilippImhof):

 I do not see how this could solve the problem. If {{{pdftk-java}}} is
 installed and {{{pdftk}}} is not (and cannot be, as it does not build),
 there is no binary called {{{pdftk}}} in {{{/opt/local/bin}}} and so no
 way of invoking {{{pdftk-java}}} without typing the long name. As a
 consequence, all any script calling {{{pdftk}}} must be changed.

 I just did {{{ln -s pdftk-java pdftk}}} in {{{/opt/local/bin}}} and now
 everything is fine. But IMHO it would be good to include that symlink in
 the port directly.
