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.
