If possible. Thanks. Right now bsd.port.mk do accept both portconfig and dialog4ports, so if can use either of them if they are installed, just install dialog4ports and ignore portconfig. As for supporting earlier EOLed versions of freebsd the issue probably stands in the version of ncurses and how it is used by libbsddialog, probably something that it is not worth investigated, of course if the people interested in having those unsupported environement are investigating and providing a patch I am sure, portconfig upstream would be happy to integrate it. I don't think it is worth fixing, Just keep using dialog4ports, you can see there are no EXPIRATION_DATE for now only a deprecation notice, so not it is not yet planned to remove it yet.
