I prefer FreeBSD-kmods.

Not because FreeBSD-ports-kmods is troublesome, per se. Partly because:

- it's only slightly more descriptive

- the longer name is _not_ a hint that the repo is limited to a
   _subset_ of non-base kernel modules.

Also partly because users have become accustomed to the distinctive 
existing name, and I'm not aware of any user suggesting an alternative.

I think of FreeBSD-kmods as complementing both FreeBSD-base _and_ 
FreeBSD-ports. If you rename the repo to reflect only the origin of the 
packages: that's, like, only part of the picture.
