bitcoin port

Hi all, FreeBSD is great. I'm on FreeBSD 8.4 and now can't move to another version of FreeBSD. I need port bitcoin client from new port but it is impossible to compile on older FreeBSD. Because I have question is there any way to build static port without any dependencies and move only one binary?

And another question why not support FreeBSD 8.4?
 
But what about static compiler is there any way to compile from ports big binary without any dependencies?

Maybe, but even if you manage to compile the port statically on a newer FreeBSD version (which I assume is what you want to do?), it'll likely not run on FreeBSD 8.4 because of ABI differences.
 
You can run 8.x binaries on 9.x or 10.x but you cannot run 9.x or 10.x binaries on 8.x. FreeBSD is backwards compatible, not forward compatible.
 
Great, now you can take it offline and upgrade to 10 (9.x will be end-of-life at the end of this year).
