Please do that ;-)

No I think it looks more like KDE (X11) applications.

I think yes.
But on the other hand it seems, that all these tools installed
together form something like a "complete" package as ther commercial
CDE (Common desktop environment) is.
I think it would be a good advantage, to be able to jump into
a directory /usr/ports/kdm and to do a make all install clean,
to get a complete kde _Environment_.
Look at the given URL and after that let's discuss again.
In the meantime I finish the port.

Would that result in (only) a new packages directory with proper
symlinks to the x11, editors and print category ?
