Who "we"? The way I am doing it is that I evaluate each port and see if
it is worth fixing, updating or deprecating. If the port is maintained, I ask
for maintainers feedback, as our policy requires. If the port is maintained,
useful and already has a fix in the upcoming version, I do not bother the
maintainer and instead just plug the error with a knob such as this one.
It can be dropped on the next update.

I don't want to just globally set -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5
for all ports, because I don't have a goal for avoiding the churn. To
the contrary,
it is a great opportunity to find and remove ancient software from Ports.
