But I would use a shell script and set LD_IBRARY_PATH accordingly.
Maybe something similar to this:

   $ cat /usr/bin/fop
   #!/usr/bin/env bash

   if [[ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ]]; then
      JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f $(command -v java) | sed "s|/bin/java$||")
      export JAVA_HOME
   fi

   CLASSPATH=/opt/local/bin/fop-2.9:/opt/local/bin/fop-2.9/lib
   export CLASSPATH

   /opt/local/bin/fop-2.9/fop/fop $*

I use the script for DocBook and fop manually installed in /opt/local.
Since fop is Java, the script needs to set CLASSPATH rather than
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
