This is the newest on https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/google/mtail?tab=versions
but looking at https://github.com/google/mtail it isn't the latest.

The usual "portgen go" and go.port.mk modules mechanisms can't fetch a
current version and they break down with the +incompatible tag.

Writing a port for this can be done but it's a bit of a bodge. Port
attached with comments for the hairy bits. Updating will require
constructing new MODGO_MODULES and MODGO_MODFILES sections by hand.
