Guidance required in porting to MIPS 64

It depends. If you need highest performance, you would have to port
hotspot, which would require quite a lot of effort and in-depth
knowledge.

However, JamVM is a OpenJDK6 compatible JVM and is many tasks fast enough.
So if your goal is to get java running on mips64 with least effort its
probably a lot easier to start with JamVM.
