If you re-enable it, it will build fine. The same goes for ALL ports which are disabled for security reasons). I'm also baffled by how you can make those authoritative claims about the ports collection. Where is your evidence? I see three PRs from you about "broken" ports. I just checked one (p5-Net-SSLeay) and found that the port is not broken - it installs fine on my machine. I don't know what you're doing wrong or what is broken on your machine, but it's more than a little annoying that you keep making these wild sweeping statements ("more often than not", "rarely", ...) and laying blame where it's not due.
