First of all you can look here: http://portscout.freebsd.org/ports@freebsd.org.html This is a list of unmaintained ports, with highlight for the ones needing to be updated. Keep in mind that the check for new versions is automatic, so it can miss some and also report false positives. Good luck! :) -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net>
