Well, it all depends on how much work volunteers are willing to do.

fwiw, I periodically send out email about broken ports (as evaluated on
i386-current): http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20090126081726.DBA671CC6F

A less verbose, but constantly updated, version is at
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portsconcordanceforbroken.py .  It's showing
165 ports ATM, a few with PRs to fix them.
