The ports tree is being mopped up for each release.

The latest release was 7.2, so the latest ports tree known to be
pretty consistent is the one with the CVS tag RELEASE_7_2_0.

One way to do this e.g. for port editors/openoffice.org-3/:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3/

and show only those with a certain tag:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3/?only_with_tag=RELEASE_7_2_0
