A new port of mc is now available. You can get it from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/utils/mc.tar.gz (source)
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/utilities/mc-3.0.tgz (binary)
and the corresponding directories on mirror sites.
This program is a clone of the famous DOS tool Norton Commander. This
upgrade, from version 2.1 to 3.0, was done by Torsten Blum
(torstenb@freebsd.org).

P.S. Note that the "source" above is actually the ports skeleton only;
when you extract it on your machine (preferably into
/usr/ports/utils) and type "make", it will automatically fetch the
original source and build the program. Try "make fetch-list" if
you are not IP connected to obtain a list of files you need to
fetch.
