The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
pkg-be-plugin is a pkg(8) plugin that automatically creates a ZFS boot environment before each install, upgrade, or deinstall transaction. If a transaction leaves the system in a broken state, the pre-transaction BE provides a clean rollback point. The plugin uses libbe(3) directly with no subprocess invocations of bectl(8) or zfs(8). Boot environments are pruned automatically based on a configurable keep count and minimum age.

ports-mgmt/pkg-be-plugin: new port

pkg-be-plugin is a pkg(8) plugin that automatically creates a ZFS
boot environment before each install, upgrade, or deinstall
transaction. If a transaction leaves the system in a broken state,
the pre-transaction BE provides a clean rollback point.

The plugin uses libbe(3) directly with no subprocess invocations of
bectl(8) or zfs(8). Boot environments are pruned automatically based
on a configurable keep count and minimum age.
