Is there any binary release of Java 7 (using the Mac/BSD-port project) anywhere? Some blogs (e.g. Building Java 7 on Mac OS X) have a detailed instructions to build the jdk from source, but I was hoping that someone have a binary of it available for download.

The problem with the instructions is that it's quite annoying to get all the version numbers correct, and slight variations might lead to wasted hours of work.
