How about insecure ports such as Procmail?  It's a scripting language, 
with Shell access, that believes user data;  I believe it's no longer 
maintained by the author, and the coding style is unreadable, making it 
difficult to spot vulnerabilities.

http://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/225/Procmail.html makes interesting 
reading, as does any search for "procmail CVE".  Perhaps it's just me, but 
I don't think insecure software belongs in MacPorts unless someone is 
willing to fix it (and good luck with Procmail).

There are alternatives; I cannot remember their names. but "sieve" (or
similar) springs to mind.
