I think Apple maintains their own source base for their JDK, based on a 
licensing arrangement they have with Sun.  Certainly we have no 
documentation on how to try to get the OpenJDK to build on OS X, and it 
wouldn't surprise me if, in fact, nobody at Sun *has* ever done this build 
on OS X, not even in their private dev environment.
