Portaudit merely reports on security vulnerabilities in the ports. 
Portaudit will not prevent the install of a vulnerable port.  The port 
itself does that, by being marked as FORBIDDEN in the Makefile, because it 
has a vulnerability.

You can configure portaudit to ignore the vulnerability in that port, but 
that won't solve the problem of trying to install the port.  To install the 
port you must either update the port (if it's out of date) or install it 
using DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes when you make the port.
