Nope. That leaves you two options that I'm aware of:
1) Adding all packages currently in dev-java:
# { echo "# disable doc for all packages in dev-java" && \
cd $(portageq portdir) && find dev-java -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | \
sed 's/$/ -doc/'; } >> /etc/portage/package.use
2) Switching to Paludis which does support wildcards (currently only in the -scm
version): http://ciaranm.org/show_post/114
If you go with 2) make sure to read the Paludis docs and faq at paludis.org...
