freebsd stable - Jan 2019 - Issue with mod_security3

Hi All
I am have a queer problem with the port mod_security3. I actually want to set it
up to work with NGINX. The port /usr/ports/www/mod_security3 exists but when I
do a
# pkg install mod_security3 
I get 
?pkg: No packages available to install matching 'mod_security3' have
been found in the repositories?

When I do a pkg search ?mod_security*? only ap24-mod_security-2.9.2_3     
Intrusion detection and prevention engine. So only version 2.9 shows up. Not
sure why this is happening. Can anyone shed some light on this please?

I'm no expert on mod_security, but my guess, based on reading
https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/modsecurity-and-nginx,
is that previous (to v3) versions of mod_security worked
_only_ with apache.

And it seems likely that the port has not yet been updated to
the newest v3.

Also based on the article, it seems that getting even mod_security
v3 to work with nginx is slightly complicated, as building it
depends on the specific version of nginx that is installed.
