I'm wondering whether it's worth the FreeBSD porter's time to advocate that the core Java JVM could adopt the threading API in Apache's APR library (see http://apr.apache.org/) It acts as an abstraction layer over native thread implementations, as well as pthreads, IIRC. I'm not a developer on that project so I don't have the technical details. It may provide portability for a number of other functions as well. And the licensing is standard Apache license, so it can be integrated into the non-open-source JVM without a problem.
