That comment is true.

That is an archive of the last version of code available from Google
Code.  By definition it is unmaintained (and unmaintainable).  There
has been a long thread about this and the the outcome (which was not
accepted by some) is that FreeBSD will not accept ports that are
unmaintainable, therefore it will not use google-code-archive as a
master site.

Please refer to the FreeBSD-ports list archives for more details.
