Libz is now a standard part of the system. Once that happened, the port
was removed. Remember, the ports are designed for -current; they won't
always work for older versions of FreeBSD.
You have several options:
* Get, build, and install /usr/src/lib/libz/ from -current.
* Get the standard zlib distribution from:
ftp://quest.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/zlib/zlib-1.0.4.tar.gz
(It installs out-of-the-box on FreeBSD.)
* Check out the port from the FreeBSD CVS repository by specifying
a date prior to when the port was killed. It was in "devel/libz".
