These are so called 'virtual' categories, which means essentially what you've observed: the port has the entry in it's CATEGORIES variable, but there isn't a corresponding directory in the ports tree. A virtual category cannot be the first category in the list. Virtual categories exist to provide alternate routes to locating a port or package via the web site. If they are sufficiently popular, eventually they may transform into a real category, as happened to the 'dns' category fairly recently.
