Hi Aiza,

Where did you get that information?  Whoever told you that is mistaken.
 A large number of commits have entered the ports tree since the
beginning of the year.  Have a look at the ports CVS mailing list
archive since December 2009: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/

The ports tree does go into a freeze or slush state around release
times, but that doesn't completely stop commits either, mostly sweeping
changes that affect a great number of ports or introduce some other
incompatibility.  Here's some more information:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/ports.html#AEN1466

Hope that helps, and thank you for your new port,
Greg
