First of all, this is prime material for the freebsd-ports@freebsd.org
list, where you'll get an audience of most of the people that work on
such things in FreeBSD.
I'd also like to point you at #bsdports on the EFNet IRC network: if you
want your work to be reviewed before you submit it, or are just looking
for some quick answers to any questions you may have, that's a good
place to ask.
To answer the question: historically the rule of thumb has been one PR
for each new port, and note in the body of the PR any dependencies on
other PRs. Putting several ports into one PR is not a complete no-no,
but usually you'ld need some special justification. Something like a
pair od ports with a master-slave relationship perhaps.
Cheers,
Matthew
