I don't see how these CVEs will be fixed if the port is removed. As You say, this port marked as FORBIDDEN for a long time so users who install it know, what they're doing. 3.x may be not supported in the ports, but freebsd still supports binary compatibility down to 2.x. Also by your logic You need to remove misc/compat4, misc/compat5 and misc/compat6(soon). Do You plan to do this? -- Adios
