The ports collection is usually very quickly changing.  Within hours
of a bug being reported, it is often fixed.  Therefore, when you see a
bug but only get around to reporting it a few days later, you should
either

* first check whether it's already been fixed

* at least check whether it's already been reported (i.e. consult the
freebsd-ports mailing list archives)

Thanks,
