I don't know if this is the right address, but I don't see an
alternative listed, so here goes.

I've been wondering for some time, why the packeges (if available)
arent listed alongside the ports. Personally, I find packeges more
elegant (a lot like the tarballs for Irix systems).

I can do a search and find the package I want, but not with the
category list.

Maybe, if feasible, it's good idea to add them?
