File a send-pr, this is obviously a bug with the port and the port maintainer should correct it. seg-faults happen when the programmer makes a mistake in the code, the port manager should have caught this and either corrected the bug or pursued it with the developer of wput. If a porter can't get a program to build without segfaulting under FBSD and they cannot get help from the developer, they should abandon the port. In the meantime, try going to the site that the wput program is hosted at and downloading the source, then compile it according to the directions in the wput distribution, and see if it still segfaults.
