 Sorry bud, but things move on.  Ports isn't your only option for
 installing apps - you can always do it by hand.  The ports team doesn't
 really have the time to maintain support for 3.x, especially since most
 don't even have access to a 3.x machine.
 
 People, please, this issue has been regurgitated a gazillion times.
 There simply isn't any merit to retaining support for 3.x anymore.  It's
 butt-ugly, butt-old, and simply a waste of time to support.  IMO, the
 only machines that should be running 3.x at this point are servers that
 have been doing so for quite some time.
