My guess?  We should rip out the [123] and [23] strings entirely.  If
anyone is running ports on FreeBSD 1, they have more problems than they
can count right now.

I can personally guarantee that ports don't work on 4.x (I ripped out
the compat code several years ago that dealt with gross old make(1)
bugs, etc.) and I think that means not 3.x either.  In any case, the
official claim is that the Ports Collection only supports 789 as first-
class citizens right now, not anything older.
