IMHO a virtual language category would be inconsistent. Either there are
enough ports for an own category ( the minimum seems to be 8) or we
should wait until there are enough ports.

Really? Which category was created because "there are not enough ports to
justify the creation on a subdirectory"?

The main reason for the language categories was the ability to make it easy
to specify the languages a user is interested in in his ports-supfile.
This doesn't work with virtual categories.
