Hi all.
finally I found the time to look further into this:
* I downloaded the source distribution and tried to build it, but
failed. This source distribution (from github releases) tried to compare
the source files with a commit id, which hasn't been found (or included)
in the source ball
* I cloned the github source tree and tried to build it. I had some
issues, but got it to work:
every single build it failed to pass the Maven integration tests. In
gradle/subproject/build-init i modyfied the build-init.gradle to not
build the "integTestRuntime project (':maven')".
After that it builds and runs just fine
* I downloaded and installed the provided binary and this seems to work
fine (deeper tests still required, but currently everything works fine)
So far as I see, it should be possible to use either FreeBSD port or
just build a DF port out of binary distribution provided by Gradle.

So from taking a quick look I see:
1) the freebsd maintainer uses the binary provided by Gradle instead
of building from source
2) Gradle provide a generic binary download that is non system or OS
specific
3) everything in the binary download is either an image, jar file, or
script - nothing native
4) I suspect, given that this same binary runs on macOS (clang), Linux
(gcc) and Windows that there is no native stuff at all, but rather by
forcing the freebsd port to bring in the gcc C++ library they are
solving a problem occuring elsewhere (ie not with Gradle) that led to
the bug reports - I base this on the fact that the Gradle supplied
binary must be working fine on macOS.
5) thus there really should be no need for the compat dependency (and
not that it matters but given DragonFly is still using gcc/g++ the
library would be available anyway unless it needed a more up to date
verion).
So for the original person, there is no reason you can't somehow
install Gradle on DragonFly, either directly or by changing the port
info.
