You have been invited to be part of the effort. The "private" part
comes from the fact that we had to sign NDA/Contracts so that we could
start working on the JDK 1.2/Java 2 code. Before that (JDK 1.1.x) you
were also invited to join and you had also declined.
You have also declined to post your Alpha DIFFs such that people like
myself could compile the code for my Alpha CPU optimizations. (And maybe
link with Motif rather than LessTif)

Yes, and Alpha owners/users are happy that you have done so.
At this point I would say the next step is up to you. You may join the
porting group (no cost, just some NDA stuff) and continue to have your
work be of benefit to all Linux/Alpha users. Or you can post your diffs
(which is still legal) and let each interested user download the Sun source
and do their own build (yes, this is non-trivial due to the bootstrap
requirements, but again, your work would be made available to others)
Maybe someone with a license could even make the compiled port available.
(Assuming there is someone who has the time and license to do so)
