I'm in the same boat as you. I tried a few different ways to get the 
MLVM patches to apply to the BSD ported OpenJDK and simply couldn't make 
it go. There's files that don't exist or have moved, and significant 
changes to many others.

I think we need to get an update on the status of the BSD patchset with 
more recent OpenJDK builds. A large part of the reason why I haven't 
been continuing to play with MLVM recently (outside of resource 
limitations) is that I can't run it natively on OS X yet.

If you do talk to BSD guys, keep us posted :)
