What about the differences between a port that's a rookie, and a real port. For
example, they have a different (or extra) category, and a PKGNAMEPREFIX.

So even if a committer did want to pull it straight out of the portrookie CVS
repository, they'd have to munge it before merging it in to the freebsd ports
tree.
