 When submitting ports PRs, please follow the guidelines in Porter
 Handbook; here you should have told us the category/port. This makes
 tracking the issues easier.

 `locate blender` returns 2 ports:
 graphics/blender-devel PORTVERSION=    2.36
 graphics/blender PORTVERSION=    2.25
 
 Both ports are maintained by: dyeske at yahoo.com
 Please always try to sort things out with the maintainer directly before
 submitting a PR; commiters will gain time this way and commiters are
 busy people.
