Both the 2.3.x and 2.4.x servers are available, the old one is because some people had big problems with the bdb database backend. As far as the client is concerned, only 2.4.x is available; there haven't been any complaints about this client version, and many ports depend on it, so carrying 2 versions would cause a lot of problems in ports. 2.4.x is at 2.4.36 because 2.4.37 has only been out for 2 weeks and it takes time for people to notice the release, prepare the update, and test it.
