For potential reference:

Upstream appears to have received recent (granted infrequent) updates:

Packages still exist in most OS's:

The release in the tree goes back to 2009. There have been three releases since, under "old releases", that have not been brought into the portstree.

I'm fine with keeping it in the tree, but it should be at a minimum updated and moved to a more applicable category if the intention is to support it. I would suggest "devel," however I will wait for feedback from maintainer on this issue.

Expired port removed.
