According to a quick search there're 40 ports with over 570 crates.
Many of those use Makefile.crates to facilitate maintenance e.g.,
sysutils/czkawka looks simple despite 883 crates.
$ for f in */*/distinfo; do grep -Hc 'SIZE.*crate' $f; done |
awk -F: '{ sub("/distinfo", ""); print $2, $1 }' | sort -rn
