At least in the case of ClamAV, one ought to run freshclam on a regular basis, 
and the port provides a daemon which will keep your definitions up-to-date 
automaticly.

If your complaint is that neither vendor's most recent definitions fail to 
catch some known viruses, that's a different problem, which you should discuss 
with the vendors directly, since that has little to do with FreeBSD ports.
