 I've just had a similar problem, but I think the kernel option in question
 is _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING, not COMPAT_LINUX.  Adding that option my
 local config and rebuilding made the issue go away.  In the meantime, maybe
 applying the following patch would save other people a few hours:
 
 *** pkg-message.orig    Tue Nov 23 09:50:03 2004
 --- pkg-message Tue Nov 23 09:52:20 2004
 ***************
 *** 15,18 ****
 --- 15,22 ----
   kldload linprocfs
   mount /compat/linux/proc
 
 + If the java executables hang with a VM error, try adding the
 + option _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING to your kernel config (if it isn't
 + there already) and rebuilding.
