ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/fax/source/

current version is hylafax-v4.0pl1-tar.gz

I don't think it's very realistic to expect that the ports could
somehow be magically synched with the sources for software that
is under active development.  For older stuff that's been stable
for a year or so you should be fine. (and there's lots of that)
Also, some packages do keep old versions around for a long time,
you may want to ask the authors of the packages you've had 
problems with to consider doing that.  But that increases the
author's support questions so it may not happen.
