ports tree revision 309992:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=309992

"2013-01-04 ports-mgmt/portmanager: Does not support modern ports features
such as MOVED, is lacking upstream and active contributions, and does not
support pkgng. Consider using ports-mgmt/portmaster, ports-mgmt/portupgrade
or pkgng."
