If I were going to use it on a production server, FreeBSD 4-STABLE and the native JDK1.4.2 would be my choice. It really comes down to stability and support. At the moment, FreeBSD 5.X is still not considered production stable yet; and use of the native JDK1.4 means that if you find a problem, the freebsd-java people are more receptive and actually have a possibility of finding and fixing the problem. If you use a non-native binary, and you find a problem I doubt very much that the Sun or Linux people would be very interested in fixing your problem as you are not running it on a supported platform.
