Someone has to bootstrap JDK 11 on FreeBSD/i386 for the first time.

The simplest way to do that is the technique Kurt and I used for amd64.
I used a slight variant where I had a Samba mount rather than NFS, but
any remote file system will do essentially.

Once one person has done it to the point where they have a self hosting
FreeBSD/i386 JDK 11, then that can be packaged into the soon to be
committed bootstrap-openjdk11 port.
