And another end :-) of tree: I propose to group dependant ports in one ports directory to base port, for example: ports/x11-wm/sapphire/sapphire ports/x11-wm/sapphire/sapphire-themes ports/x11-wm/sapphire/sapphire-another-themes (no sapphire-another-themes in ports now) See ports/38593 Three level ports: Patch and new ports as another example with some patch. Alternative to proposed path is to enlage list of valid categories in such a way: VALID_CATEGORIES+= audio/midi audio/libraries ... so on. But a list of categories become so flexible (x11-wm/sapphire is a category in above) so some of ports submits will change of VALID_CATEGORIES in Mk/bsd.port.mk. Just remove VALID_CATEGORIES check? Separate list of VALID_CATEGORIES to different file? different files in main (first level) category directories? Do not check subcategories (as PR/38593)?
