Nobody 'forbids' you from making such a port, for your own use and/or
for others. See Peter Jeremy's suggestion re where it might be placed
and what sort of dire warnings it ought to announce; I expect SO and
ports secteam would insist on nothing less.
This differs from expecting|demanding|hoping somebody ELSE should do it.
Anyway, you've got lots of time until FreeBSD 10 is no longer supported.
