Thanks Tijl, I take the feedback as input for next time. By now, all
build breaks caused by this commit are fixed (graphics/bugle and
cad/netgen were unaffected by this commit).

On a very last note, this commit was not a surprise. I did announce in
September last year
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2014-September/015216.html)
that maintainers have to become proactive and make sure their ports do
not use APIs which have been deprecated in the 2.4 branch. Apparently
the ports tree was prepared quite well, given that I had to fix only 4
ports so far.
