I can easy repo-copy things form other locale-oriented categories.  but 
if we go virtual first, this is not so easy.

I think this can't be take as a net/net-mgmt thing.  It's all about a 
dozen of ports.

Other languages get:

ports/arabic: -> 8
ports/french: -> 26
ports/german: -> 29
ports/hebrew: -> 8
ports/hungarian: -> 10
ports/japanese: -> ... (a lot)
ports/korean: -> ... (a lot)
ports/polish: -> 16
ports/portuguese: -> 16
ports/russian: -> 37
ports/ukranian: -> 10
ports/vietnamese: -> 16

My initial patch cover all that I know really related to a spanish 
locale now in the tree.

My initial reference was ports/portuguese.

I'm sure to be able to reach portuguese functionality after directory 
creation and maintain it.

I'm afraid this is not the same with a virtual category.  I'm not so 
profident with the FreeBSD ports system.
