MacOSXPort wiki instructions a little stale

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Nick.
macosx-port project was completed some time ago, so OS X now 'just 
another platform' in OpenJDK 8/9.
A latest version of the build instruction you can find inside a repo:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/file/8ef1dc220c0e/README
