version numbers is apparently mostly an exercise by MySQL AB to have
all their products with "matching" version numbers. There are some
shiny new bits of extra functionality to justify the new major version
numbers though.
Quoting the release message:
"This is the first generally-available, production release of
Connector/J 5.0. Notice that Connector/J 3.1 has supported all
MySQL-5.0 features other than XA, but this is the first
generally-available release that "synchronizes" version numbers
with the server (as well as adding support for XA).
Version 5.0.3 is suitable for use with any MySQL version including
MySQL-4.1, MySQL-5.0 or MySQL-5.1 beta."

Update to version 3.1.6 -- This is a major update to a new code
branch, and development on the 3.0 branch will now be limited to
critical bug-fixes. From the release announcement:
Version 3.1.6 is the first production release of
the 3.1 series that is suitable for use with all
versions of MySQL, including MySQL-4.1 or MySQL-5.0.
Connector/J 3.1.6 is required if you want to use
server-side prepared statements MySQL-4.1.2 or
newer, or CallableStatements with MySQL-5.0.
http://lists.mysql.com/announce/250
Anyone upgrading from the 3.0 series should first read
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector/j/en/#id2424819
This update adds both a BUILD_DEPENDS and a RUN_DEPENDS on
devel/log4j (unless you use the WITHOUT_COMPILE option,
where there's only a RUN_DEPENDS)

for prepared statements with batched parameters creating all keys
for getGeneratedKeys()."

MySQL Connector/J really does need JDK 1.4.x to compile. Use of
apache-ant appears to side-step all of the effects of the USE_JAVA
knob from bsd.java.mk, so all previous testing was actually using JDK 1.4.2
to do the compilation step.
Since the distfile contains a pre-compiled .jar file, which will work with
any Java-2 JVM, provide a WITHOUT_BUILD option.
