The version at MacPorts is 1.35, which I have installed, but it fails with:

<div class>The current version is 2.51, which can be downloaded from <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/txt2html/files/" class>Sourceforge</a>. Does txt2html have a maintainer (I don't know how to check that)?</div>

It has none:</p>
<p dir="auto"> $ port info txt2html
<br />
txt2html @1.35 (textproc)</p>
<p dir="auto"> Description: txt2html is a Perl program that converts plain text to HTML.
<br />
It supports headings, lists, simple character markup,
<br />
hyperlinking,and is highly customizable. It recognizes some of
<br />
the structure of the source document (whitespace, typographic
<br />
layout, etc.), and attempts to mark that structure explicitly
<br />
using HTML.

<br /><p dir="auto">I have found that opening a ticket in the project's Trac system (or opening a pull request on the Github repo if you have a working fix) attracts the attention of the core team, who rapidly address anything that's not too arcane, even in ports with no current maintainer. The txt2html portfile looks extremely simple, so I expect that the update requires nothing more than updating the version and the hash of the new version's distribution package.</p>
