State-Changed-Why: 
I'm sorry, what you're doing simply isn't supported.

The EOL for 5.0 was on 06/30/2003.  Since then, there have been an
immense number of changes in FreeBSD (both src and ports).

The only systems that are supported are releases 5.5, 6.1, and 6.2; the
-stable branch (to become 6.3); and the -current branch (to become 7.0).
In fact, patches for versions older than these are already no longer
kept in the ports tree.

My intuition is that you'll be spending a great deal of time trying
to get modern ports to work on such an old system.  A far better choice
would be to upgrade to one of the above.
