Instead of providing such notice via pkg-message, please consider the
method outlined in section 12.15 of the Porter's Handbook:

"When it makes sense to do so, users can be warned about a pending port
removal with DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE. The former is simply a
string stating why the port is scheduled for removal; the latter is a
string in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). Both will be shown to the user."
