--- Comment #4 from John Marino <marino@FreeBSD.org> ---
The premise that pkg is a FreeBSD 10 tool is wrong - I think you know that.
Secondly, pkg is not something that a port cares about.  They are independent.
Thirdly: We are telling you want the problem is.  You have to set
USES=compiler.  Your response is "I can't figure that out, so let's just limit
the port to the latest release".

We would prefer this port be fixed properly -- not limited because limited for
artificial reasons.  There are good reasons for limiting a port to specific
releases, but this isn't a good one IMO.

I also don't get the reference to QT5.
Obviously if the port requires QT5 and QT5 didn't build on FreeBSD9 (it does)
then this port would get skipped due to a missing dependency, so no need to
mask it specifically.

And this is a ports-mgmt tool!  That's are the last type of ports that should
be limited.

Please set USES+= compiler:c++11-lib or whatever the callout is.  Bartek can
check it with poudriere if you don't have that set up.  I don't see a
persuasive argument to neglect supported FreeBSD releases here.
