What you see as inflexibility the rest of us see as structure. Sure
it would be nice to insert a goto on occasion but, from a long-term
perspective, the existing structure is better.

This is a good point, and a legitimate issue. One solution might be
to move or symlink portsearch from /usr/ports/Tools/scripts to
/usr/local/bin.
If consolidation is in order why not follow the p5- example/standard
and use the devel directory but rename the ports themselves to use an
appropriate prefix (ports/devel/eclipse{,_plugin}-$plugin)?
