I hope some day sun will wake up. Here at work we use FreeBSD 4.x servers running Java and tomcat, it is not a problem at all, it just works. We run 8 webservers and about the same number of backend servers like that. We only use Linux for our load balancers. Maybe there's specific things in your apps that won't work, I don't know, but my experience is that there's no reason not to use FreeBSD for running Java apps, unless you need bleeding edge stuff perhaps.
