Sophos and compat3x dependency

Hello,

currently I am trying to install Sophos Anti Virus and found out that 
these binaries require FreeBSD 3.x compatibility. Now the misc/compat3x 
port ist marked FORBIDDEN because of two security vulnerabilities 
(FreeBSD-SA-03:08.realpath and FreeBSD-SA-03:05.xdr).

Any idea how to proceed ? Contacting Sophos ? Waiting for a fixed 
compat3x ? Using a different virus scanner software ?

Thanks in advance...Andy
