I agree with you about security fixes. It's should be "best practice" to add security fixes to quarterly branch. There is also a wiki entry about it:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/QuarterlyBranch
Quote:
"Aims
Receive, on a best effort basis, merge (cherry-pick -x) commits including, but not limited to:

    Security fixes (that may be version updates, or backports of commits)
  ...."

Maybe you can contact the port maintainer and he can take care of that.
