Masafumi Max NAKANE 5b63b2b0cb Unbreak this port. (Still forbidden, though.)
While I was at it, changed it to use newer (sort of) distfile and patch.
I considered removing this port from the collection since mail/pine4
supports Japanese in certain extent.  However, this port  provides an editor
with Japanese input support as well as help files in Japanese, which may be
value for some people.
With this commit, I'm closing:

Pine for FreeBSD 2.x is a tool for reading, sending, and managing
electronic messages. It was designed specifically with novice
computer users in mind, but can be tailored to accommodate the needs
of "power users" as well. Pine uses Internet message protocols (e.g.
RFC-822, SMTP, MIME, IMAP, NNTP) and runs on Unix and PCs. This
package also includes the Pico editor, the IMAP daemon, a POP2 server,
and a POP3 server.
This version supports kanji input using Canna. Canna can be started
by ^@ (or ctrl-space) in the Pico editor.
Note: Users are strongly encouraged to install pine4 package instead,
since pine 3 is known to contain security problems, as well as pine
4.x supports Japanese. However, pine3 with Japanese support provides
help files in Japanese and the pico editor supports input using Canna.
