New category - ports/packages specific tools?

There are lots of nifty tools in ports for handling ports and packages.
It would be nice if they were all in one, easy to find place.

I think there are enough of these kind of ports to warrant a new
category. What does everyone think about this?

I'm not sure on a name yet -- "freebsd", "ports", "tools", and
"portutils" are my initial ideas.

Possible candidates for the new category:

devel/portcheckout
devel/portlint
devel/portmk
devel/porttools
misc/porteasy
misc/portell
security/portaudit
security/portaudit-db
sysutils/newportsversioncheck
sysutils/pkg-orphan
sysutils/pkg_cutleaves
sysutils/pkg_install
sysutils/pkg_install-devel
sysutils/pkg_remove
sysutils/pkg_rmleaves
sysutils/pkg_trackinst
sysutils/pkg_tree
sysutils/pkgfe
sysutils/port-authoring-tools
sysutils/port-maintenance-tools
sysutils/portbrowser
sysutils/portdowngrade
sysutils/portmanager
sysutils/portmaster
sysutils/portsearch
sysutils/portsman
sysutils/portsnap
sysutils/portupgrade

Plus maybe (not ports-specific, so perhaps not):

net/csup
net/cvsup
net/cvsup-mirror
net/cvsup-without-gui

Have I missed any?
