Two unmaintained ports, nothing depends on them, and upstream has not 
updated source since 2004, ftp server unresponsive.

<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/misc/gpt31/Makefile>
(gpt32: misc/gpt also unmaintained since 2005.

<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/misc/gpt/Makefile>
ftp server mentioned doesn't respond (ftp.freebsd.org has distfile),
upstream unmaintained since 2004, and upstream points to a different 
distfile (with different checksum and same version number), mentions an 
alpha version 4.0.

nothing depends on this (it is to install 'globus'), which I don't see 
in ports.

ps for misc/gpt has different errors, make -- -  7.4 i386, one on 9.0 
amd64 (did I say unmaintained port? ) I don't think anyone has attempted 
to use this since 4.x days.
any objection to me marking these deprecated unless someone steps up to 
maintain them?
(Mel: looks like you tried to offer submitter a fix, but I think this is 
a lost cause)
