It has been discussed many times, about twice a year ;-)
And every time it's the same answer:
"ports tree is growing we need this, it would be great"

I don't know if it's planned, but I thought about it because I can't
sleep.
Keeping ports tree consistency, keeping categories backward compatibilty
for packages system during ports migration, and after that, switching to
news categories for packages can be one of the possible solutions. I
have made some test. and It seems to work.
The main migration may eat a lot of time (specially for orphaned ports)
