Description Jeff Kletsky 2017-03-03 00:34:23 UTC 
http://php.net/supported-versions.php

indicates that only php7.0 and php7.1 are under active support, although php5.6 will receive security patches through the end of 2018.


https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

states

To run WordPress we recommend your host supports:
 * PHP version 7 or greater
 * MySQL version 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.0 or greater


Suggest changing port dependency to php70-* or php71-*

The dependency change wouldn't be the problem. But PHP 5.6 is our current default version and with packaging in mind, we need to change this first.

Good news: i'm currently working on this. :)

This will be fixed with https://reviews.freebsd.org/D14208

Than you can choose which version of PHP wordpress should depend on.
