I want to update it, and I am using it.

So there is work to be done in fixing the port in this respect. I made the upstream to fix a trivial OpenBSD-specific issue in 2020, see https://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=2244 As well, Pari is not as useful without its packages: https://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/packages.html (which are basically maths data files) I have no idea how they ought to be packaged for OpenBSD.
