This is probably getting quite off-topic here but I have just coded this script to implement what you describe. Someone probably already implemented such thing but I had 10 minutes to spare between two simulation runs... Basically you may set PORTSDIR to a specific path (or else the script uses /usr/ports) and run the script. It will create the directories related to virtual categories and symlink ports into them.
