I can't speak for the original poster but, as someone who's more interested in the window shopping part, this doesn't solve my problem within the status quo. If I'm looking for (let's say) a replacement mail-reader, gnawing through 480+ ports is not a win. Given my limited knowledge of the ports build internals, adding a new layer to the directory structure, e.g. mail/servers, mail/clients, mail/utilities, and mail/misc, seems much less painful than editing 12,000 Makefiles.
