It takes 1 to 2 days to do a build job for the entire ports tree.  So
try again tomorrow, or failing that, the day after.

Also, be sure you're using the _latest_ ports, and not the _quarterly_
branch, or else you'ld have to wait until the end of March and the next
quarterly branch to see the new port in the repository.
