Hi Christian,

Unless bsd-port is handled differently to the other OpenJDK forests,
your existing OpenJDK account should just work.  I've used mine across
about 6-7 forests now.

I'm surprised to hear it doesn't build on GNU/Linux any more.  In the
long term, it would be nice for some of the BSD fixes to get into the
main tree, and that's obviously a show-stopper for that.
