    Something like this is already in place, it's called CATEGORIES (a
    make macro).

    That already exists.

    It *is* in devel:

    roman at isis /usr/ports 1007:0 > make search name=\^eclipse-'[[:digit:]]' display=path,cat
    Path:   /usr/ports/java/eclipse
    Index:  java devel

    roman at isis /usr/ports 1008:0 > make -V CATEGORIES -f java/eclipse/Makefile      java devel
