Once it is BUILT on the NFS system - will I be able to INSTALL it on my clients? Has anyone tried anything like this?
Once you've got a native JDK built as a package on FreeBSD, you can install it on other FreeBSD client machines, yes, no problem. If you want to distribute the JDK to machines owned by someone else who are your business clients, well, that is another story.
Is this OK with the license agreement?
You need to understand the license agreements yourself:

http://www.sun.com/software/communitysource/j2se/java2/ thirdpartylicense.txt
"This Attachment C is only effective for the Technology specified in Attachment B, upon execution of Attachment D (Commercial Use License) including the requirement to pay royalties. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Attachment C and Attachment D, the terms of Attachment D shall govern."
If you don't understand what the license means or what the royalties are for redistributing a commercial version of Java, talk to your laywer and Sun.
