If you have ports on your system, then you can run 'make readmes' from
the /usr/ports directory.  That will create the README.html for all
ports and categories.  That takes a while so you probably want to use
-j10, or whatever is appropriate for your system.  That is documented in
the ports(7) manpage, but -j is in the make(1) manpage.
