Hello,
It's true that thunderbird include an automatic update function. but if I understand you, the thunderbird port should not include any update function since the latter is provided by macport isn't it ?
Can you confirm me this ?
Tanks.
Best regards
mparchet
PS I don't know how to remove the automatic update function of thunderbird or how to transform a software source to port.
Can you do this ?

You already opened #33069 for this.
You or anybody else is free to submit a patch to update the thunderbird-x11 port to a more recent version, or to submit a new thunderbird port that does not use X11.
I didn't quite understand your sentence including the remark "although it automatically update", but just for clarity, any software installed by MacPorts should not include any kind of automatic updating facility; all updates of the software should be handled by MacPorts.
