Oh, sorry. I didn't realize that you wanted a package built for
7.0-RELEASE. Indeed, there isn't a package of this port built for this
release, so you might want to get packages from the 'packages-7-stable'
directory[1][2]. This particular port seems to have been added to the
ports tree after the release of FreeBSD 7.0. Of course, you can build it
yourself from your ports tree.
