Are you refering to this page? http://www.freshports.org/ports-deleted.php

If so, a deleted port is something which has been removed from the ports tree. Usually the last commit message explains why it has been removed.

Sometimes a port is deleted from one category and added to another [perhaps new] category.

Is the above a start to helping you understand?
