The way I've went about it historically is to start the package
on Linux/x86_64 to not have to deal with too many BSD-specific caveats
initially. Then cross-compile to NetBSD and continue there when the
Linux build works.

I've been dealing with a medical issue recently that limits my computer
time, but am recovering and JDK 25 is still on my list of things to
look at. I do not expect there to be significant changes from
lang/openjdk21 in terms of what the pkgsrc package should look like.
