The Handbook says:

|If the ported software has an official WWW homepage,
|you should list it here. Prefix one of the websites with
|WWW: so that automated tools will work correctly.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-desc.html#AEN83

I have the impression that WWW should be used only
once (although you could interpret the sentence as
"at least once" as well), and is reserved for the
official homepage of the software that the port provides. 

My ports depend on Tor, but they don't provide it.

As far as I can see, tor.eff.org doesn't have
any information regarding trans-proxy-tor
or dns-proxy-tor, therefore I don't see why
it should get the WWW tag.
