Supporting non-mainstream platforms yourself is pretty easy: most free runtimes like Kaffe, gcj,SableVM,JamVM or CacaoVM already run on those non-mainstream platforms, or are very easy to port. It took me ~5 minutes to port Kaffe to ia64-hpux, for example.
Send your bug fixes the way of the upstream projects, they appreciate help with non-mainstream ports. I'll go back looking at some patches for powerpc-netbsd for GNU Classpath now ...
cheers,
