The version in ports works with IPFW in FreeBSD 11, you just have to
manually define the sshguard table(22) in your IPFW config. I assume
you're already manually choosing where in your firewall rules to block
the traffic from these abusers, so just add the table creation to your
IPFW config and it will work fine.

As Kurt pointed out, the update is non-trivial and I haven't had enough
time to dig into it. If I blindly update the port without enough testing
and people install the update and it's no longer blocking abusers...
that would be bad.
