What do you mean?  The accessibility category wasn't deprecated, it was
added.  atk, gail, and at-spi we moved from their previous directories
into accessibility.  It sounds like you might not be cvsup'ing ports-all
(which is a mistake).  In that case, you should either change your
supfile to cvsup ports-all, or add ports-accessibility to the list of
modules (note: your cvsup server may not have this module yet, so it's
best to just cvsup ports-all).

This list (freebsd-gnome) is the canonical list.  there is also a really
good website at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome that discusses all of the
various help options.
