The port net-p2p/microdc is no longer in development and it's author recommends to use more functional and supported fork called microdc2 instead (see http://www.nongnu.org/microdc/ and http://corsair626.no-ip.org/microdc/). I'm currently the maintainer of net-p2p/microdc and like to move to microdc2, but I don't know how to be with the port. I can see several posibilities: 1) net-p2p/microdc can be simply updated to microdc2's latest version (IMO it's bad: package/port name would be microdc instead of logical microdc2) 2) net-p2p/microdc can be repo-copied to something like net-p2p/microdc2, which later will be updated to microdc2's latest version 3) add new port net-p2p/microdc2 with the microdc2 fork (and net-p2p/microdc can be optionally marked as depriciated in favour of net-p2p/microdc2) As for me, I prefer the 3) variant, but I'm sure this isn't the first dead project and there is some examples that should be done in such cases.
