&
& check-os:
& .if !defined(SKIP_OS_TEST)
&         - at mkdir -p ${WRKDIR} ; \
&         rm -f ${WRKDIR}/${TESTPROG} ; \

&         @if [ ! -f ${WRKDIR}/${TESTPROG} ] ; \
&         then \
&         /usr/bin/printf "\n\
& You must have a version of FreeBSD later than 4.7-STABLE\n\
& February 2003 or 5-CURRENT February 2003 to compile and\n\
& use JDK 1.4.2.\n\n" ; \
&         exit 1 ; \
&         fi
&         @${WRKDIR}/${TESTPROG} 2>/dev/null
& .endif

Can you please send the output from /var/run/dmesg.boot
