Linux JVMs Running Under BSD?

Mock asks: "I work for a web services company, and so part of our business process involves setting up web servers for our customers that include a JVM for running our software. Although I've found FreeBSD to be rock-solid for server applications and the quickest to fix security issues, the JVM support has been lagging behind other systems, for some time now. I would like to know if it is wise, or even possible, to run the Linux JVM under BSD? Are there other alternatives I'd be better off considering (besides using a different operating system)?"

    That said I used it to run a small enhydra/xmlc java web app. In my last job and I performed well and with the recent (last six months) inclusion of the hotspot stuff it's much faster.
