You can easily find the maintainer of the package by looking into portsmon:
  <http://portsmon.firepipe.net/portoverview.py?category=sysutils&portname=rdiff-backup>

FreshPorts:
  <http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/rdiff-backup>

or search on the FreeBSD ports page:
  <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=rdiff-backup&stype=name>

More information about upgrading a port is available in the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook:
  <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/port-upgrading.html>
