I tried out the recent FreeBSD port of JDK 1.1.5 (at ftp.freebsd.org in
/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/jdk115 or ftp16.ba.best.com in /pub/bofh/, may be
in a more official place by now) last night and it seems to work quite
well on NetBSD/i386 1.2. It comes with a LessTif libXm.so, so the AWT
fonts and widgets may be a little screwy.

Of course, you need some FreeBSD shared libs and ld.so - I can put the
necessary stuff up for FTP if anyone's interested.

The .java_wrapper script seems to be the stock Sun one - the following
hack is needed to get it running on {Free,Net}BSD:
