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:
bosd flashes transient, click-through feedback over the desktop: a PNG glyph, countdown digits, large or small outlined text, or a gauge bar. A warm daemon per channel repaints in place so rapid key repeats never flash.

x11/bosd: Update to 10.3

Harden the warm-daemon IPC path. Switch the TESTS option to
TESTS_MAKE_ARGS helpers so the port no longer includes
bsd.port.options.mk.
