from my understanding of the "any of many" RDEPEND="|| ..." syntax, it
should do what you expect and not pull in icedtea.

However I remember that sun-jdk requires a license acceptance which has
changed recently, so maybe sun-jdk is now masked on your system, hence
the need for something else.

What is the complete emerge output?  Look for any masked or license
restricted packages.  I added this to /etc/portage/package.license:
dev-java/sun-jdk dlj-1.1

What does "it" mean in the sentence "What time is it?"?
