Please upgrade to a supported release. Not just ports. The next package build starts on 2018-10-02 01:00 UTC will be built on FreeBSD 11.2. Once it finishes in ~2 days say goodbye to availability of official packages for 11.1. Unlike some Linux distributions FreeBSD doesn't archive packages for EOL versions, including previous /quarterly branches. The only exception are packages frozen as part of -RELEASE but /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf defaults to /quarterly, not /release_<0-9>. The rationale for archiving packages available at the start of support cycle rather than the end escapes me.
