(near the end), there is a jove 4.17.06-9. The code has been very stable for decades, though, so the newer version may add features rather than fixing bugs.

I had a look at the FreeBSD-ports repository history and it looks like the Jove port expired in January this year.
editors/jove||2024-01-18|Has expired: No upstream update in last 23 years
The upstream for this port is https://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/moraes/jove/ARCHIVE/4.16/ with the latest files from 1996.

That said there seems to be a github project which seems to be maintained https://github.com/jonmacs/jove and it looks like the debian package uses this.
I can try my hand at creating a port for this over the weekend if that would be helpful.

Best,

Ports are not really linked to a version of FreeBSD, I cannot find Jove
on a 13.3 machine I have either.

It may be because there was no active maintener anymore, I see that jove
is maintained by ports@freebsd.org, so no specific person in charge.

Best regards,

Olivier
