The V8 port hasn't been updated since 2013 it seems.

V8 is a very popular Javascript engine by Google. The latest stable release=
 is
v5.1 (April 23, 2016); but we still have lang/v8 v3.18.5 (April 30, 2013), =
and
lang/v8-devel v3.27.7 (May 19, 2014) in FreeBSD ports.

There have been *very* important improvements in between, including API cha=
nges
and many performance and stability improvements on all platforms.

Maybe lang/v8 should be at v5.1 and lang/v8-devel at v5.5 (or at least v8-d=
evel
should be at v5.1)

Thank you very much.
