What's FreeBsd plan for support of those packages?
Sticking to the latest version it doesn't feel like security patches will be backported.

There isn't any. The default PHP version is already changed from 5.6 to 7.1. When 5.6 and 7.0 are end-of-life they will eventually be removed from the ports tree.

FreeBSD does not support third party software. At all. If software is dead (end-of-life, stale, never updated, disappeared, etc) it will eventually get removed from the ports tree.

Please would you consider to make thread safety a default option. I am on PHP 7.2 already, and I use it together with the worker mpm of Apache 2.4. The only reason, why I need to maintain PHP by building from the ports and not by loading the binary packages, is that the thread safety ZTS option is turned off by default.
