I assume an fclone of http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/, e.g.

   rm -f -r your-bsd-forest
   hg fclone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port your-bsd-forest

Once you have the forest, all you need to refresh it is
   cd your-bsd-forest
   hg fpull -u

Being a forest, the hg tags only tells you what the tags are for that
one repo, e.g. try 'cd jdk && hg tags | head -2' you will see different
changesetids.

Run 'hg ftrees' to see a list of all the repos in your forest, each
is pretty independent, only the forest commands apply to all repos,
e.g. fpull, fclone, fpush, fstatus, etc.

I don't know much about the state of the bsd-port.

It looks like it is in the middle of awt build (inside the jdk repository) and
it cannot find X11.  Is X11 installed on your Mac? I think it's an optional
install on Macs.

See http://openjdk.java.net/groups/web/bugzilla.html

But you realize that most of us work on the linux, solaris, or
windows side of things. Not many of us doing mac work.

You probably want the bsd-port email aliases:
