Yes, you can have both installed at the same time.
/usr/ports/java/javavmwrapper makes switching JVMs easy using
environment variables, however it doesn't seem to support switching
browser plugins. For that you'd probably have to switch the symlink in
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins and restart the browser.

HTH,
