I think this commit in audio/ascd speaks for itself:
---
Revision 1.25, Thu Dec 13 16:34:47 2012 UTC (3 years, 4 months ago) by
naddy
===
remove Peter Stromberg as maintainer:
"I haven't used any of those ports myself for a long time, so I think
it's
best you remove me as maintainer."

No MAINTAINER since then. Just typical tasks like swapping http to
https and other cleanups..

The port still works. It just greeted me with:
---
$ ascd
As root, please run

chmod 644 /dev/cd0c

to give yourself permission to access the CD-ROM device.
---

I'm OK with killing both unless someone speaks up that it's still used.
