Hello Tomas you are going to have to upgrade your ports collection. There are two methods you can use. The slickest method is to use cvsup, the procedure is outlined in the handbook. See the following link. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html The other method is to download the port tar ball from the ftp site. Here is a link to the 4.5 release version ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.5-RELEASE/ports You should think about upgrading to 4.5, it is easier than it looks.
