I'd guess it hasn't been updated because it works as it is and nobody
has taken an interest in bringing it up to date.  I don't know how many
patches have been applied locally to it but that would be the main
challenge in importing a newer version: you'd have to go through the
FreeBSD CVS history and check that any changes/fixes that were made to
FreeBSD's version are either already included in the new release or
ensure that those changes get re-applied to the new version.
