Comment (by raimue):

 Maybe some older version was distributable, but the resulting binary
 archive has been purged since then? In any case, this must have been a
 long time ago.

 You would have to allow building from source for rsnapshot (`sudo port -s
 install rsnapshot`). In case you really do not want to build from source,
 you would have to contribute a patch that makes rsnapshot distributable.
 Is the rsnapshot license really `GPL-2` only and it does not include the
 "or any later version" phrase that would make it `GPL-2+`?
