Hi,

I open an issue this morning with a patch to upgrade cacti,
and I can confirm that as expected the update wasn't that
easy at least for a first try.

Andrea, I didn't test that much the resulting package so feel
free to grab the patch, test it, and give us your feedback on
the PR. BTW Let us know if you need some help building the
port.

This is the PR link for cacti:

All the best,
