If you don't care about the reason why it's marked broken, then just
uncomment the #FORBIDDEN line and build it.

We disable ports with security holes so people don't install them by
default without knowing the consequences.

Unfortunately its rarely as simple as that ... more often than not the
problem involves missing libraries or incompatible dependencies.
Compiling from source usually works without obvious problems, but
that seems a bit of an overkill
