How do I prevent a port from installing?

Also, in deinstalling jdk, I found that apache-ant relied upon
it, but I couldn't see what depended on apache-ant.

"man pkg_info", paying attention to the 'r' and 'R' options.

Is there a workaround for apache-ant?

If it's a mandatory dependency - i.e. not installed because of
an option - the anxwer is probably "No.".
You could consult the maintainer for a more authoratative
opinion.
