The port in comms/xastir is version 2.0.4 from 2012. A release 2.0.6 was released in 2014. The release has only minor changes, but among them is the ability to link against BDB 5.x instead of being restricted to 4.x. Since the current port has "WITH_BDB_HIGHEST" set to true, the highest available is now 5.x, and the 2.0.4 would not work with 5.x, this alone is reason to update.
I'm going to ping carl again as I have pinged him and not heard back from him in some time. Meanwhile, I will start working on the port. I'd love to reassign this port to the hamradio@ group.
