I did a quick survey:

- OpenBSD removed bash1 ~ one year ago ("It smells funny.")

- NetBSD never had a bash 1.x port

- gentoo portage never had a bash 1.x port

(I didn't bother to check other OS distributions, although this might be 
interesting)

This means all of your shell universe is FreeBSD-based, which is not bad 
by itself :).

I am aware of
   <http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/bash/COMPAT>

but we have to have some procedure to get ride of old, unmaintained 
ports. It is already marked broken on ia64, and there seem to be no 
public security review any longer.

The point is: Is the bash1 port of public interest? Nothing hinders you 
to copy the port to /usr/ports/local and keep using it, even when it is 
deleted from CVS. Or better yet, assume maintainership and save it from 
being deleted.
