These are not hard and fast rules, but generally directories in the
ports tree should be all lower case, eg:
databases/phpmyadmin
while package names, $LATEST_LINK can be mixed case, but should start
with a lower case letter, eg:
phpMyAdmin-2.5.7.1_1
(See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-=
naming.html#PORTING-PKGNAME)
Although see ports/68896 -- ports with mixed case names may not show
up in 'make search' under 5.x
Cheers,
Matthew
