macosx-port and mlvm

[Michael Hall]

Is the current macosx-port  to some extent current on the mlvm project?

I am restoring to somewhat functional a old java shell application I have. One thing I thought I would try it out on was testing some of the new mlvm support. 
The application itself now sort of works, gui and all (X11 or with the wiki Swing test property), on the macosx-port 1.7 release. 
Would that be workable for use with mlvm or would I be better off trying to get a version with the mlvm project patches layered on?
If say I tested with running JRuby from the shell would it take advantage of the mlvm? If I am understanding the project at all correctly, which I may not be, thats one reason why I'm looking to get this app working, to start seeing what it's about.
