gecko@ only keeps security/ca_root_nss port up to date. Any new or old
CA certificates have to be vetted by Mozilla, ports-secteam@ or already
being included by other Unix-like distributions. Related: ports/160387
and why CAcert.org was removed.

Besides, adding extra certs to ca_root_nss port won't affect NSS
consumers until we have a port for nss-pem.
