Way to ignore portaudit results?

Hello,

The mysql40-client port currently reports a security
problem when I try to install it:

neely:/usr/ports/databases/mysql40-client$ make
===>  mysql-client-4.0.18_1 has known vulnerabilities:
>> MySQL insecure temporary file creation (mysqlbug).
   Reference:
<http://people.freebsd.org/~eik/portaudit/2e129846-8fbb-11d8-8b29-0020ed76ef5a.html>
>> Please update your ports tree and try again.

This is a minor problem affecting only the 'mysqlbug'
script, not core mysql client functionality.  We may
not see a fix in the MySQL distribution until 4.0.19.

Is there a way to force installation of a port, even
though portaudit reports a security problem?

Thank you,

Richard
