Under 'Security Updates (-stable)' in
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/ports.html

... it states the OpenBSD policy on ports. But the current
stable has ports which are out of date and some have know bugs.
(example: PHP 7.2.10 ).
Aside from compiling it yourself, is there a way to get more current
ports from -current ?

Policy from website:

"When serious bugs or security flaws are discovered in
 third party software, they are fixed in the -stable branch of the
ports tree. In contrast to the base system, the -stable ports tree
only gets security backports for the latest release.
This means that all you need to do is make sure you check out
the correct branch of the ports tree, and build the desired software
from it. You can keep your tree up to date with CVS and subscribe
to the ports-changes mailing list to receive security announcements
related to software in the ports tree."
