I'm not sure there's any formal definition.
If the port isn't getting tested, bugs aren't getting fixed, fails to
build, etc then it's probably a good bet you could put it into the
unmaintained bucket.
If the port does get occasional fixes (primarily driven by BZs), but not
getting updated on a regular basis (such as conversion to LRA,
conversion to RTL prologue/epilogue, etc), may be only getting
occasional testing, etc. Then it's probably fair to call it in
maintenance mode. A great example IMHO would be the m68k.
I would say we probably have many ports in maintenance mode right now.
Not sure if any are in the unmaintained mode with perhaps the exception
of interix.
