Ah, I see.  You need to be MUCH clearer in your bug reports!  ie.

1. Go to http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html

2. Search for kopete.

URL is now http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=kopete+stype=all

4. Click on Sources.

URL is now http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/net-im/kopete

Web page reads:

Sources for ports/net-im/kopete
Sorry, did not find the sources for ports/net-im/kopete

This would seem to be an error on the FreeBSD web site itself, not a
problem with the port.  You can still see the status of the port:

1. Go to http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html

2. Search for kopete.

URL is now http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=kopete+stype=all

3. Click on kdenetwork-kopete-0.12.8

URL is now http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net-im/kopete/

Web page shows the port was last modified 8 weeks ago.

After researching in greater detail it seem that kopete has never had a
package generated for it.
I did ftp of the packages server and checked all the different releases
latest directory and find kopete has never been built as a package all the
way back to release 5.0. There must be an error in the release package build
system. Can a package be built for inclusion in current and 7.1 and 8.0
releases?

The freebsd.org folks only have limited resources.  Not all the ports
have packages made for them.

It is not an error for a package to not exist.  The packages made
available on freebsd.org are really only provided for the convenience
of sysadmins don't have to build all their ports from source.  With
several thousand ports in the ports tree it's just not practical to
supply packages for all of them.  It's just inevitable that some
ports have to be built from source by the sysadmin.

Anyway, it is pretty easy to build it yourself and make your own
package.

cd /usr/ports/net-im/kopete
make package

You can also use 'pkg_create -b' instead of 'make package'.

 Can a package be built for inclusion in current and 7.1 and 8.0
 releases?

Only commonly used ports (eg. Apache) are supplied on the release
discs.
