Ain't gonna work. The entire system (including many system calls) is way different in BSDi vs. FreeBSD. Your best bet is to run Kaffe or some other VM. I tried getting the FreeBSD JDK working under BSDi (I'm the guy that built the public FreeBSD JDK) for a friend, but gave up in disgust after a day or so. The JDK relies on system calls that are simply different and/or return different values, so I convinced them to switch their development to FreeBSD instead of using BSDi which has proven mostly successfull.
