AFAIK some of the changes that have gone into the macosx-port repository
are incompatible with Leopard.  So even if Zero support is repaired for
the bsd-port repository, it's not straight sailing from there to being
able to use it with the macosx-port repository.

Kurt, we should be up to date with the main repo, so are you saying that
the Zero build is broken for jdk7 in general?  Or just that there is some
bitrot in the BSD port of it?
