Don't we have something?

I never bothered to investigate this, being a trusting sort, but isn't there 
some kind of hash total or crc or digital signature?

If it came down to that, you could download the code, inspect it, and recompile 
it.  If you got a jar file that was substantially different in size, that might 
be a clue.  Especially if it came out smaller.

If I were trying to attack Freenet, the best way would probably be a social 
engineering one, persuading inexperienced users to download a rather unsafe 
freenet.jar, perhaps from a spoof site.  They wouldn't even notice the kind of 
thing Maps Baps was looking at, and my suggestions would be way over their 
heads.

Is there any security check to insure that only genuine nodes containing 100% 
pure Freenet code are able to connect  to the network?
