According to the port's Makefile the maintainer is ports@ which means 
no one person is working on it.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?category=&severity=&
priority=&class=&state=&sort=none&text=fwtk&responsible=&multitext=&
originator=&closedtoo=on&release=

shows all of the past PR's that the fwtk port has had.

Feel free to submit a pr with your patches attached...putting [PATCH] 
in the Synopsis field is the way you typically tell people that not 
only did you find a problem but also that you have found a fix.

(You might check out the gtk-send-pr application in the ports....makes 
it easier to see if you are missing things.
