If you do not have git installed, you could still get the latest snapshot of pkg_add_it via the Cgit repo. [1] Currently the latest version of the program is tagged as RELEASE_1_3, so just go to [1] and get a compressed snapshot of the program, then extract and compile it. I'm planning to submit a PR to update the port soon, but before that I still need to finish a few things.
