I've explained this before.  I, and anyone who would be working for me, are
legally prohibited from even possessing Sun's Java source code, because we
aren't residents of a country on Sun's "approved countries" list.

Not only does this mean I'm not in a position to work on a native FreeBSD 
port, this also means that any native FreeBSD port that has to be built
from source is useless to me.

Since the project is not able to employ the only contribution I'm able to 
provide (to wit, financial), I'm left passively waiting for either a reliable
Linux distribution or a reliable FreeBSD Java.  Whichever comes first.
