Sure, download the source to JDK2 and start porting. :) Seriously though, that's what needs to be done. A good starting point are the patches provided on the FreeBSD-JDK page (http://www.freebsd/org/java), and hopefully soon we'll have a newer set of patches that adds ELF support as well as a.out support to the mix. Unfortunately, these patches are only for JDK1, but hopefully most of the 'ideas' are the same in JDK2.
