You can wrap the OSKit interfaces with JNI or KNI and access them
through Java that way.  That shouldn't be too hard.  Look at
libraries/javalib/java/net/PlainDatagramSocketImpl.java and the
corresponding code in libraries/clib/net/PlainDatagramSocketImpl.c.

We've done something similar with Janos.  We glue the OSKit, Moab,
the JanosVM, and the Janos Java NodeOS together to provide Java code
with access to low-level networking primitives (from Moab).  That
probably isn't what you're after, but there are some real nice APIs in 
there for doing low-level networking from Java.  Look at this:
