If you can access Dbus from Java (I don't use Java) maybe these instructions (http://www.murrayc.com/blog/permalink/2008/02/07/gnome-lirc-properties-using-policykit-to-get-sudo-access/) can help you a bit. The instructions are aimed at Python programmers but it shouldn't be too hard to adapt them for Java.
