All you should need to do is link or copy the plugin from you jre1.3.1
installation to the mozilla plugin directory in a similar fashion to:
cd /usr/local/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/local/jre1.3.1_01/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
or
cp /usr/local/jre1.3.1_01/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins
and then restart mozilla for the new plugin to be recognized.
