You need to submit a PR at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/ :
1. Register onto the site
2. Create a problem report (PR) for the port using link "Report an
update or defect to a port"
3. Create a unified-diff patch against the existing port, eg:
    cd {your-working-dir}
    diff -ruN /usr/ports/sysutils/mkdesktop . > /tmp/mkdesktop.patch
4. Attach the patch to the PR

Cheers.
