This more or less equates to rewriting the search target.  Currently
search works by doing a simple grep through the ports/INDEX file.
Probably easy enough to make it grep for both a key and a category.

To make it work in an arbitrary subdir would be different.  The
INDEX is mostly constructed from the output of make describe.  The
describe target will work in an arbitrary subdir.  It wouldn't be
hard to do

cd /usr/ports/subdir ; make describe | grep -i "${key}" | awk -F\| '{
printf("Port:\t%s\nPath:\t%s\nInfo:\t%s\nMaint:\t%s\nIndex:\t%s\nB-deps:\t%s\nR-deps:\t%s\n\n",
$1, $2, $4, $6, $7, $8, $9); }'

And that will work and give the desired effect (tested), but it will
be slow.

There isn't any ACCEPTABLE way to do it "right".

Cheating by grepping INDEX first for the category and then for the key
is easy enough.

Adding this to each subdirectory Makefile will work.  I suggest this
solution rather than a bsd.port.mk solution, although changed to
look more nicer and more sexier.

PORTSDIR?=      /usr/ports

search: ${PORTSDIR}/INDEX
	@grep ${.CURDIR} ${PORTSDIR}/INDEX | grep -i "${key}" | awk -F\| '{ printf("Port:\t%s\nPath:\t%s\nInfo:\t%s\nMaint:\t%s\nIndex:\t%s\nB-deps:\t%s\nR-deps
:\t%s\n\n", $$1, $$2, $$4, $$6, $$7, $$8, $$9); }'

[Also tested].
