Why not add an entry to UPDATING and teach portsnap(8) about EOLTIME?

        # a sample text based on freebsd-update(8)
        if [ ${EOLTIME} -lt ${NOWTIME} ]; then
                echo
                cat <<-EOF
                WARNING: `uname -sr` HAS PASSED ITS END-OF-LIFE DATE.
                Any ports issues discovered after `date -r ${EOLTIME}`
                specific to your version may not be corrected.
                EOF
                return 1
        fi

For one, not reading UPDATING pretty much guarantees running into an
issue at some point anyway compared to not reading ports-announce@ list.
