If I understand your question correctly, you or somebody else has
submitted a bug that can only (or almost only) be fixed by the upstream
vendor.

My suggestion would be to:
a) add a comment to the bug explaining that it has to be fixed upstream;
b) post a message here on the ports mailing list, with a link to the bug
   report, asking that a committer take appropriate action, such as
   closing the bug (or suspending it, if such a thing exists).

On the upside, your message here will probably already be read by a
committer who knows what to do :-)

Hope this helps,

AvW

I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example.
