Ain't gonna work. The entire system (including many system calls) is
way different in BSDi vs. FreeBSD. Your best bet is to run Kaffe or
some other VM.
I tried getting the FreeBSD JDK working under BSDi (I'm the guy that
built the public FreeBSD JDK) for a friend, but gave up in disgust after
a day or so. The JDK relies on system calls that are simply different
and/or return different values, so I convinced them to switch their
development to FreeBSD instead of using BSDi which has proven mostly
successfull.
