I have security/clamav-milter and mail/milter-greylist installed and running a pkg update earlier today saw:
Code: 
Message from GeoIP-1.6.12_3:

GeoIP does not ship with the actual data files. You must download
them yourself! To obtain the free database, run:
# /usr/local/bin/geoipupdate.sh

If you are using the free database, you will need to create some
symlinks for the geoiplookup tools, as described in
https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c/blob/master/NEWS.md

===>   NOTICE:

This port is deprecated; you may wish to reconsider installing it:

Legacy databases no longer available. Switch to GeoIP2 instead.

It is scheduled to be removed on or after 2019-02-01.

This is an automated package installed by one of the above, so I'm not sure whether I can change it or have to wait for the porter to change it. At present I can't see a net/GeoIP2 in Ports, only net/p5-Geo-IP2 or net/py-GeoIP2.
 
From /usr/ports/UPDATING:
Code: 
20190113:
AFFECTS: users of net/GeoIP
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org

Maxmind no longer provides geolocation data in the legacy format used
by net/GeoIP. All GEOIP-related OPTIONS have been removed, and all
GeoIP-dependent ports will be removed soon.

Where possible, you must switch to net/libmaxminddb, which uses the
newer (and fully supported) GeoIP 2 format. Unfortunately, this is
not a drop-in replacement. To fetch the GeoIP 2 geolocation databases,
whether the free or paid versions, you must use net/geoipupdate
(pkg install geoipupdate).

The legacy database is no longer available, and we cannot distribute
it by the Maxmind license, so the legacy GeoIP format is essentially
dead.
