You can add your own categories by setting VALID_CATEGORIES=<some list>
in /etc/make.conf. A more interesing addition from my perspective would
the ability to add new non-virtual categories with a single variable.
Perhaps EXTRA_PHYSICAL_CATEGORIES would be a good choice with an
EXTRA_VIRTUAL_CATEGORIES as well for symetry. Both could be added to
VALID_CATEGORIES and EXTRA_PHYSICAL_CATEGORIES could be added to SUBDIR
in ${PORTSDIR}/Makefile.

P.S. freebsd-ports would probably be a better place to discuss this.
