This problem is actually has been fixed about several months ago.
The problem is that IBM's jdk uses /proc fs to determine number of
processors in a very funny way: by counting how many "bogomips"
strings are in the /proc/cpuinfo. Pretty innovative way to get
hw.ncpu, isn't it :-). FreeBSD doesn't have a /proc/cpuinfo, therefore
you have to mount linprocfs into /compat/proc to get rid of this
warning. Alternatively, just copy cpuinfo file into /compat/proc from a
linux box near you.

Looks like a nice plan.
