I tried 8.4.13, and the only problem seems to be the Makefile.in patch, which needs to be adapted for whatever changed upstream. [You can build by just deleting the patch, but permissions and install locations won't be right, and I don't think it will work properly. > If I understand this correctly, there is a freeze on ports.

It's not quite trivial (often all you need to update a port is to change the makefile to point to the new version and update the checksums), but it doesn't look difficult.
