Same way you bootstrap any previous version of Java on FreeBSD: you download a pre-compiled JDK and use that. Given OpenJDK is supplied under the GPL, then downloading an OpenJDK7 .pkg would be the way to go here. Of course, there's a chicken and egg problem there: someone has to compile OpenJDK7 for the first time. OK, yes, you'ld just use OpenJDK6. And in turn to compile that you would have used whatever version of Java 5.x you had available, amongst which were diablo or any of the Linux JDKs run under the Linuxulator. Probably the really hard step here would be bootstrapping Java on a completely new CPU architecture. That is something only a relatively small group of (presumably) highly expert people that would ever need to deal with.
