Comment(by tvb377@…):

 The released wxWidgets 2.9.0 was of no great use for production software,
 maybe that's why the original Portfile author went this way.

 Currently, I'm not using much of wxWidgets in my projects, my code
 compiles and works with 2.9.1.
 Some time ago I ported CodeLite to a snapshot of wx > 2.9.0 just to see if
 it is useable and this was not too lengthy or difficult (see also
 [http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.9.1/overview_changes_since28.html|the wx
 change documentation]).

 In my opinion it would be good to endorse usage of wx > 2.8 for
 compatibility with x86_64 (and who knows when Apple decides to remove
 Carbon completely).

 But I just spent some minutes trying to compile pgAdmin with wx 2.9.1
 Besides  some character type conversion errors which might be easy to fix
 this fails because it requires wxOGL.
 wxOGL is noted as dead on some wikis and was moved out of wxWidgets. It
 does not compile with 2.9.1.

 All not too difficult, but IMO not the job of a macport.

 --> I'd leave it as is.
