JAI is available as a "pure java jar" or as a "mixed jar and native" 
configuration.

There are two deployment options:
- the "mixed jar and native" options is easiest to manage when installed into 
the JRE/lib/ext and JRE/bin folders
- the "pure java jar" can be included with the application as a normal jar (or 
placed into JRE/lib/ext as above). This solution does not perform as well as 
the one with native support.

So a port is not needed; the "pure java jar solution can be installed into 
JRE/lib/ext if you want to see if you can get further with openjdk.

I think only uDig is expecting JAI to be installed into the JRE. GeoServer 
supports that configuration as one of the "advanced performance tuning tricks"; 
preferring to include the "pure java jar" in the geoserver distribution.
I am not aware of what the other applications require; we will need to check on 
a case by case basis.

The jars we are looking for are:

- mlibwrapper_jai.jar
- vecmath.jar
- jai_codec.jar
- jai_core.jar

For more information:
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/advanced/build/install/jdk.html

Several installation options are provided on that page; perhaps one will work 
with openjdk?
