The asterisk developers have modified the version numbering after
version 1.8.

They decided they will never make a version 2.0, so they dropped the 1.
from the version numbers and went on to make version 10.x.

At present even versions are development ones with a short support
lifetime and odd ones are "LTS" (Long Term Support) versions.

There are ports net/asterisk11 and net/asterisk13 for versions 11.x and
13.x which are both fully supported LTS versions.

the net/asterisk port is deprecated and I plan to remove it, once I've
fixed all it's dependencies(slowly working on that). Please move on to
asterisk 11 or asterisk 13.

P.S. Because there will always be more than one supported LTS available
I don't plan to make a new net/asterisk port, but to always have two
net/asterisk<major> ports in the tree, so everyone can choose what he
likes best.
