It's not that odd. Over 2000 of our not-quite-4000 ports currently  
have no maintainer. [1]

Yes, and the bacula port was updated to 2.0.3 on April 22, 2007.  
Perhaps you have not synced your ports tree since then? Use "sudo  
port sync" to do so, then do "port outdated" to see what you need to  
upgrade.

Perhaps you also don't have the latest version of MacPorts (1.4.3).  
It was released April 17, 2007. To get it, run "sudo port  
selfupdate". selfupdate includes sync, so it's not necessary to run  
sync separately.

No need to wonder: the entire history is available in the repository  
browser:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/log/trunk/dports/ 
sysutils/bacula

As we see, the port has never had a maintainer. But it was created by  
mww and has been updated mostly by him ever since.

If you're interested in the bacula software, you could also consider  
becoming its maintainer, since it's currently available for adoption.
