The native port (as opposed to a hypothetical, but currently prohibited
binary release) requires access to the JDK source code.

That source code is only released to residents of countries on this list:

If your country is not on the list, no native port for you.  Use Linux
emulation.  If your application breaks under Linux emulation, then don't
use FreeBSD.
