This is the right forum for your message.

In order to update the port, you or someone needs to file a PR with a diff in 
order to update it to the latest version.  If you're the author of this 
software and have a bit of free time to spare for this, it's best for you to 
also be the port maintainer.  That will tend to speed the process of the port 
being updated compared with someone else doing it...

A start of the diff to update the port would look like this, but your build 
system seems to assume that make is GNU make, so it's not complete:

[ You'd probably have to run a REINPLACE command to substitute gmake for make 
in some of your files, and/or create patches to do the same thing... ]
