Right those parts are already there.

The last chunk of the diff is not needed for this problem and is
incomplete. It is for the problem described here:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7144274
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/jdk/rev/99cc5c9ef200

I have not yet checked to see if we need this fix in addition to
the problem you noted. However, if we do need it then we to
change MACOSX to _ALLBSD_SOURCE in both
PlainDatagramSocketImpl.c mcast_join_leave() and
net_util_md.c setDefaultScopeID()

I am attaching patches for both openjdk6 and openjdk7
that should fix the problem you initially reported and will apply to
FreeBSD's ports cleanly.

Thanks for reporting the problem and tracking the correction down.
