The commit removing the port provides a more verbose rationale.
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/505753

I failed to mention the port was broken on amd64 since FreeBSD 11.3,
12.1, 13.0. One could switch to llvm60 or llvm70 as a workaround but
those will be removed in future. And if switched users would still
complain why www/seamonkey needs to pull yet another llvm* package.

Depends on upstream. If SeaMonkey fails to adopt ESR68 in a year or less
then no, it's not worth the effort to maintain perma-vulnerable package.
And if it succeeds then gecko@ may not be the best maintainer.
