You mean like databases/jdbc-oracle8i, databases/jdbc-oracle9i,
databases/mysql-connector-java, databases/postgis-jdbc and
databases/postgresql-jdbc all providing Java access to their databases?

I think there is a fairly clear convention here.  Not to mention the
recent discussion on moving ports which are not directly involved with
the JDK into another main category.
