The port should probably be just wxgtk32.

The former stable port is 3.0.5, the stable one before that is 2.8, referred to as “Ancient stable”, dates back to 2006/2011. There are some ports that still need older versions of wxwidgets. We would need to update them to newer versions of the toolkit or deprecate them as well.
