As of 2.0.0 the project's README indicates it supports x86_64:
https://sourceforge.net/p/jamvm/code/ci/master/tree/README

I haven't looked any further into what might be wrong, though.
The upstream project appears to be dormant since this release (2014),
and the port has been outdated since 2008. A few months ago I was
under the impression that its dependency gnu-classpath was having
problems (for this port, a solution might be to migrate it to the
Java portgroup since it should now support using OpenJDK instead).
So maybe this is a port to consider deleting instead, and there are
likely better ports to try working on to get the hang of MacPorts.
