Hi Daniel, I put mine here:
http://people.apache.org/~dsh/projects/fbsd-ports/spidermonkey185/ But I as well have a a github account so I could try merging my attempt with yours. Right now I am running into an issue where the make process does nit include a header file from the port which is causing a compile error.
