I just took a quick look at the list, but wasn't able to identify
something urgently needed (at least for the infrastructure ports
maintained by emulation@). In general: just look at the expiration part
of the fc4 port (really inside the Makefile) and compare it with all
the ports which you want to remove (at least for the ports maintained
by emulation@), if it matches you can remove.

It would be nice if the patches results in a nice explanation for the
user trying to use some linux stuff on 7.x.
