Yes.  In fact, Zero has been accepted upstream for OpenJDK7:

http://gbenson.net/?p=166
http://blog.fuseyism.com/index.php/2009/10/15/zero-assembler-port-upstream/
http://blog.fuseyism.com/index.php/2009/11/01/halfway-there/

which means it should appear in the bsd-port repository when they
update to b76/milestone 5, but will need some porting work to run on
that platform.

Shark builds but can't currently bootstrap itself.
