Take a damn hard try to locate the new website of the software.
Often the software resurfaces elsewhere, very silently.

If you can't find it anywhere, suggested action is to mark the port
DEPRECATED and delete it after two months, unless someone steps in and
salvage the port by hosting the distfile on his webspace and taking the
responsibility for that port.
