Then, I think creating japanese/gd, russian/gd and graphics/gd is the
best way unless both Japanese and Russian support can be added to the
program at the same time.

So, I suppose the guildelines to follow when creating ports in one of
language categories are:

1. Put the port in the language specific category if it supports only
certain language besides English.

2. Use a generic category (e.g. graphics, comms, x11*, etc.)
  a. If the program only supports English.
or
  b. If the program is internationalized and various languages are
  supported.

There should be more to make it complete, but these are ones that
involve in this case with gd.

If we can make this complete, maybe we can put it in the Handbook.

     Cheers,
Max
