but, both are open source .... ?
ok, for openjfx the freeBSD port is only partly ported, the real
interesting things, like dependencies to gstreamer, webkit-gtk,... are
defined, but never used and built, so the java classes will not work

As I looked around to find the reason, I found the site how to port

looked further to find this site:
http://muscles.dragonflybsd.org/synth/snap-failures/Report/
and for both gradle and openjfx missing compat9x is the reason for not
being ported to DF - as far as I understood. I found no information
about what's wrong with compat9x and asked a few days ago in another
mail, which had a different topic (32 bit compat libs) and got no answer
to that specific question.
So I started building... but had no time for further investigation yet,
so I didn't test with gradle...
It would be great to get some information about the status of why gradle
and openjfxdevel aren't ported to DF and why the automatic build process
is skipped (or ignored?) for both packages.
I would appreciate it, if you gave me some hints!
cheers,

The normal reason for requiring compatX is that the port is delivering a
pre-built binary.
For example, a vendor doesn't release the sources, but it builds the
product itself. The port is simply downloading the binary and putting
it in place. Since the vendor typically doesn't provide one binary per
FreeBSD release, compat libraries are needed to satisfy the real-time
linker.
So binary installers are not real ports. And you can't run a freebsd
binary on DragonFly. I haven't looked at these ports, but if compat
libraries are a requirement, I expect they are impossible to port. The
vendor would have to provide DF binaries which is unlikely, especially
since we don't utility compat libraries in DF.
