Would something similar as the kfreebsd hosts not work? Maybe it can
even be hosted at d-ports.org?

There is only security support for what's (was) in the release and for
testing for other architectures...

I'm not sure what (m68k specific?) release you would want to do security
support for? I'm also not sure if it's a good precedent to take over
(what seems to be) DSA tasks for a server which in DSA's eyes will
probably not be (DSA) supported anyway?
I think that having an unofficial porter machine would be very welcome
and would probably be better supported by m68k enthiusiasts than an
official porter machine would be :-)
