I now understand your problem a little bit better.
There are two options:

 (a) take the security/wazuh-* directories of the ports tree with your desired version
     and copy them into the current ports tree.  Then hope they build.  If it doesn't,
     you could try to mess with the ports to make them build.
 (b) if that doesn't work, you can set up a Poudriere environment and build wazuh plus
     all of its dependencies in versions that match the old ports tree.  This gives you
     a package repository, which you can then import in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos to get
     that versin of wazuh plus all dependencies.  However, note that due to outdated
     dependencies, there are likely to be security issues.
