lang/php72 port moved to lang/php74 - Reason: Has expired: Security Support ends on 30 Nov 2020

I'm running Magento 1.9 on FreeBSD 11.4-RELEASE-p4.
We are close to move this installation to a new 12.2-RELEASE-p2 with Magento 2.4.

I'm trying to keep the old one alive as long as possible.
But when trying to upgrade the ports on the old server, everything stops when running portmaster -a (see below).

My problem is that Magento 1.9 isn't compatible with PHP 7.4.x - so I can't move to PHP 7.4.

Is there anything I can do, to come around this?
Any light on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Code:

Magento 1 is end-of-life too. Maybe not the best of ideas to keep a webshop running on outdated software.

 
Beside SirDices hint: PHP 7.3 is still available, and can be used on an up to date FreeBSD server; Does your Magenta support that version?

Yes correct, and we are moving to Magento 2.4.1 right now (were a bit behind schedule due to some technical issues).

Thanks, need to look that up, even if I don't believe so.
 
I did not use portmaster in years, but doesn't it have -x option? So something like portmaster -x php\* -a may help? However you may still be bitten by changed libraries, known vulnerabilities etc.

Ports and dependencies are always my worst fear. You command seems to work, at least I seem able to upgrade other ports on the server :-)
