This has come up several times recently.

The Linux Sun JDK (which is used to bootstrap the build of the native
JDK) requires that the Linux procfs system is available.  Add this to
your /etc/fstab:

 linprocfs   /compat/linux/proc   linprocfs   rw   0  0

and then, as root:

kldload linprocfs
mount /compat/linux/proc

You can then restart the build of the native JDK.

FYI, this is mentioned in the linux-sun-jdk* ports' pkg-message files.
Once the native JDK is built and installed, you can remove the Linux
one, and you will no longer need to mount the linprocfs.
