I would really prefer it if the developer would release a new version, if they believe the code is in a stable state to be used by users. However, since the last change was in 2009, perhaps the project is abandoned. Have you already tried to contact the developer about this, and about moving the project away from Google Code, since that hosting service is being discontinued?

Mee too, but we currently have no other code than that.

I have a version that I think works using https://github.com/sierkb/portsnotifier and one patch. However, it uses /opt/local/bin/port and on my system I need to use sudo. I'm not sure how other people use sync w/o sudo.

I assume it does so via its launchd plist which it wants to start as root.

FYI:
In the port file, the line
patchfiles patch-general.png.diff
no longer is required, since the little patch for the PortsNotifier.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file has been committed upstream a few minutes ago. Please change the port file accordingly.
Cc Me!
