Description
The *-rtems-* ports are out of date and do not build RTEMS correctly. The ports do not have a current maintainer. Problems relating to the ports are ending up at the RTEMS project and that project is not responsible for the ports.
Can these ports please be disabled and/or removed ?
I am an RTEMS maintainer.

That would be nice and ideally I would like to see this happen how-ever the building of the tools across the 12 architectures we provide is complex and the maintainer focuses on Fedora and other rpm based open source operating systems. I suspect any pending tickets will be out of date.
Unfortunately the tools present do not match anything we have ever released. There is a port for the i960 and we dropped support in 2005. RTEMS and newlib are currently in a cycle of moving header files to better support the standards and this means all tools need updating. Without the updates RTEMS does not build.
If someone in the MacPorts community wishes to pick up support and add all 12 architectures and keep the ports updated I would be willing to show them what needs to be done. We track the current gcc release and have rpm's available as the gcc release is announced. Leaving broken ports that have no chance of working as available is doing no one a service.

I accidentally stumbled on this ticket. I'm willing to look into this if it is still relevant and if someone can provide basic guidance and testing. I have no clue how to test anything beyond checking whether the source compiles successfully.
See also #51935.

We would probably rather have the ports updated, than removed or disabled. There are a couple tickets already submitting updates for a few of the ports, and a ticket submitting a new port. Unfortunately as you said there is no maintainer so these tickets are not getting addressed.
