That requirement hasn't changed.  I don't think anyone has retried 4.2 recently.

That's a really basic square-one error.  It looks as if the bsd-port patches failed to apply to your new sources.  See brief experiment below.

You might try this for a manual fixup of the guards files:

--------
        for d in jdk hotspot langtools; do (cd $d; hg qselect | grep bsd-port || echo bsd-port >> .hg/patches/guards); done
--------

P.S. Here's my local experiment...

--------
	pwd
/Users/jrose/Projects/davinci/sources
--------
	hg qapp -R jdk
jdk7-b147-to-bsd-port.patch
--------
	hg qpop -R jdk
popping jdk7-b147-to-bsd-port.patch
patch queue now empty
--------
	rm -rf build
--------
	sh build.sh
jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk:181: "WARNING: Value of ARCH cannot be empty, will use ''"
jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk:181: "WARNING: Value of ARCH_DATA_MODEL cannot be empty, will use ''"
jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk:181: "WARNING: Value of PLATFORM cannot be empty, will use ''"

--------
	hg qpush -R jdk
applying jdk7-b147-to-bsd-port.patch
now at: jdk7-b147-to-bsd-port.patch

	sh build.sh
