Thats hard to say.  Prior to the release of Java 7 the plan is to have two
things done:

1. Have the BSD port integrated into the main OpenJDK trunk.
2. Have all of the "binary plug" issues resolved so they aren't needed.

If those two happen I would expect that FreeBSD users would generally run
OpenJDK 7.

The FreeBSD Foundation has signed the Sub Contributor Agreement and
graciously allowed any work done for them under contract to be merged
into OpenJDK.
