I don't see any ticket filed on that, so I'd guess not. You could  
file a ticket requesting such an update. Be sure to Cc the maintainer  
of the port. You could also send an email to the port and ask them  
what's up.

You can learn about writing portfiles by reading the guide:

http://guide.macports.org/

And by looking at existing portfiles.
