The best bet I've found is to install the linuxpluginwrapper port, but
you'll need a recently compiled 4.9-STABLE world/kernel to make it work.

It's apparent that you've installed Java other than with a port. There
are several problems with this:
1) native applications don't operate too well with Linux Java (and vice
versa);
2) neither the files nor the symlinks are installed where FreeBSD and
native apps expect them to be;
3) Opera probably can't even find the Java plugin as a result.
