'make missing' in that port will show all the dependencies that are not already installed. For simple ports, changing the version in the Makefile and recreating the checksum file is enough. Exim is likely not that simple. There are lots of FreeBSD patch files for the 4.84 version. Some of those might need to be changed or deleted. Still, the port is a good reference for what will be needed.
