What does this mean and why is it so?

===>  compat3x-i386-4.4.20020925 is forbidden: FreeBSD-SA-03:05.xdr, FreeBSD-SA-03:08.realpath  - not fixed / no lib available.

I'm trying to install jre from the ports collection of freeBSD 4.11
and get the following:

While I can understand lack of support for old versions of the OS,
I cannot understand nor can I fail to resent y'all's making its use
impossible.

Perhaps if y'all were not so intent upon making free"BSD" less and
less BSD and more and more "invented here" such problems would be
less common.
