If that's doable, it would be great.  But wouldn't it require changing
either

a) make, gmake, etc. to look for included files without a path there
or
b) changing all the ports to include it from there.

This also means that we presume /usr/ports to be the directory the person
is using.  I realize that a symlink to wherever they are storing it works,
but it's just another step that will be missed by some.
