I'm finding my google-fu not quite strong enough to come up with a definitive understanding of how Sun's JVMs use native threads,

Except for this comment:
"The NPTL approach keeps the 1-on-1 thread mapping (1 user or Java thread to 1 kernel thread), but leverages the kernel for thread-related operations, including signal handling, synchronization, and thread creation speed," explains Calvin Austin, who serves as both lead engineer on Sun Microsystems' port of J2SE to the Linux OS, and J2SE 1.5 specification lead. "The NPTL library is now available in Red Hat Linux 9 by default. This is a very exciting time for Java Linux developers."
