Why is this port obsolete? Does it not work? Has upstream development ceased?

What do you mean "there are better ways of installing vim plugins"? One could 
say the same thing about Python/Perl/PHP/Ruby modules, but we still have ports 
for those.

If you're going to prevent installation, you might as well just delete the 
port. The reason we keep obsolete ports around for a year is to give users a 
chance to upgrade to the replacement. This port has no replacement, so keeping 
it around serves no purpose.
