The asterisk developers have modified the version numbering after
version 1.8.

They decided they will never make a version 2.0, so they dropped the 1.
from the version numbers and went on to make version 10.x.

At present even versions are development ones with a short support
lifetime and odd ones are "LTS" (Long Term Support) versions.

There are ports net/asterisk11 and net/asterisk13 for versions 11.x and
13.x which are both fully supported LTS versions.

the net/asterisk port is deprecated and I plan to remove it, once I've
fixed all it's dependencies(slowly working on that). Please move on to
asterisk 11 or asterisk 13.

link to the official documentation:

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions

P.S. Because there will always be more than one supported LTS available
I don't plan to make a new net/asterisk port, but to always have two
net/asterisk<major> ports in the tree, so everyone can choose what he
likes best.
