Do you need that specific version? If not, the devel/binutils port with the arm-none-eabi flavor will build it for you. I can't find the user documentation for using flavors at the moment, but # make -C /usr/ports/devel/binutils FLAVOR=arm_none_eabi install should do it, or the equivalent for your build system (e.g. # portmaster devel/binutils@arm_none_eabi will also work). If you do need the specific version, then the (some would say optional) first step is to badmouth the person forcing you to use a specific old version. After you've done that, you can either change the port or build it by hand. Both are fairly simple: the first involves changing the tarfile name in the Makefile and distinfo, while the second involves unpacking the tarball and following the README instructions, which will generally lead you to a 2-line command invocation. Good luck.
