It depends on how mature you need the port to be.  I expect there may be
an initial patchset in a month or two, but it will probably be somewhat raw.

There is some progress already:

> ./bin/java -version
java version "1.6.0-internal"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-internal-glewis_23_apr_2007_20_12-b00)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-internal-glewis_23_apr_2007_20_12-b00, mixed mode)

But the complete JDK doesn't compile yet.
