It means that installing cups-base-1.3.3 is forbidden, and that the
reason is a security problem allowing for remote execution of
arbitrary code.

To fix it, you can wait for the update to cups-base-1.3.4 to hit the
tree, or update the port yourself, or (if you're willing to leave your
system vulnerable to a remotely-exploitable bug; e.g., if the machine
isn't on the Internet) comment the FORBIDDEN line out of the Makefile.
