You'll need to compile the OSKit, and then compile Kaffe using the
OSKit header files, libraries, and compiler wrapper.  All of that
magic is provided in the Kaffe distribution.  (The READMEs should get
you through that).

However, that's all that you get.  You can run Java applications on
the bare hardware, but if you don't have any Java apps that would be
useful for this, then you probably don't need Kaffe/OSKit.

You'll need a working Linux or FreeBSD system to compile the OSKit and 
Kaffe.  (you'll need the standard tools, too, of course).

      That which does not kill you just didn't try hard enough.
