In a root of your local hit three for ports do:

git log -- mail/openwebmail

This gives you a hash of latest (removal) commit: 3c9b734022681d3361f88dd9c398a2eaa0033a0e
The do:

git show 3c9b734022681d3361f88dd9c398a2eaa0033a0e -- mail/openwebmail/Makefile

This gives you exact contents of the port's Makefile that was removed starting with:

-# Created by: Yen-Ming Lee <[email protected]>
-# $FreeBSD$
-
-PORTNAME=      openwebmail
-PORTVERSION=   2.53
-PORTREVISION=  5
-CATEGORIES=    mail
-MASTER_SITES=  http://openwebmail.acatysmoof.com/download/release/ \
-               http://openwebmail.org/openwebmail/download/release/
