One thing that should be noted is that once the deprecation process is done and over and the port nolonger becomes part of the tree, you are still more than able and welcome to keep the distfiles you have as well checkout just the port directory in question that you are worried about to a seperate place other than the ports tree to maintain it locally. The port may not exactly be in the snapshot tree but just because of that does not mean it will not work for you from a different location. Also note that it may actually be good practice for those that need to use those ports but are unsure of exactly what it involves to upkeep them. It could lead you to another time where you might be interested in being the maintainer for that port.
