running jtreg tests

Mac folk,

Bear with me, I'm a relative newbie to Mac and the Mac OS X port, 
although I've been around JDK for a while.

First up, I'm impressed how easy it was to get the OpenJDK build up and 
running on my new MacBook Pro. Congratulations to whoever helped make it 
that simple and easy.

That being said, I'm trying to run the jtreg tests on the langtools 
repo, and without changing anything, I'm getting 37 failures. Most if 
not all of them look related to jtreg not correctly determining an 
absolute path for the JDK under test.

Before I put a lot of effort into debugging this further, I thought I'd 
ask if this is to be expected, at this stage of the game.  Should I 
expect all the langtools tests to pass?   In a standard 
Windows/Linux/Solaris build all the langtools tests should pass.

Any advice would be appreciated.
