Someone who wants to install a port that has been deprecated and
removed should really have enough skills to check a port out of the
Attic at least-- it's one command line. I don't see how much simpler
it could get:

cvs -d __insert_anoncvs_host_here co -D "day_before_port_was_deleted"
ports/category/dead_port
