"One of the main reasons that I'm so involved with open source is that I've always been fascinated by figuring out how things work. In this interview, John Baldwin of the FreeBSD project gives some insight on what it is like to be a FreeBSD developer and some of the things that happen behind the scenes of a large open source project."

The Foundation paid for consulting leading up to getting certified Java 1.5 binaries which accounts for the big portion of that "extra" expense.
Looking at the 2005 balance sheet or Q1 2006 balance shee should let you know that there is no big worry. The foundation can't keep spending money like Q1 forever (unless donations are up too ofc) but now that the Java issue is mostly sorted I doubt that will continue. Besides all they have to do is ask and the money will come flowing in.
