Something I'd be more interested in rather than the size of a port
would be a small file containing a description that could be used to
build a window manager's menu's from.  Something like

/var/db/pkg/program-1.0/+APP:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
CATEGORY
COMMAND LINE
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does this sound reasonable?
