Comment (by landonf@…):

 The OpenJDK ports predate the official Oracle Mac-Port entirely. The
 bootstrap port is likely unnecessary now, and the main OpenJDK port should
 be replaced with an openjdk7 port -- Oracle has never officially supported
 openjdk6 on Mac OS X, so unless someone else wants to step into the role
 of JDK hacking, it's a *lot* of work  to keep it running, and I'm unlikely
 to have time to do so.

 I would be happy to look at patches or offer any advice I can on bringing
 over openjdk7 (or updating openjdk6, if you're feeling a bit more brave).
