I would also recommend simple names (like these ones), with no hierarchy 
in it.
The hierarchy does not give any added value to the user.

If all are defined in one file, maybe put a comment into the file on how 
to deactivate each of them (like it is already done for FreeBSD) and 
shortly describe what the purpose is, like

FreeBSD-ports: FreeBSD packages prebuild from ports
FreeBSD-kmods: FreeBSD kernel modules
FreeBSD-base: FreeBSD base packages

Maybe also add there a link to the handbook, where that is described on 
more detail.

We should keep the FreeBSD in the name, because if I build my own repos, 
they do not start with FreeBSD which clearly mark them as my own ones.
