I found a way where you don't need to set PKGCATEGORY, and allows your
local ports to be included in a 'make index'.

/usr/ports/Makefile.local
# $FreeBSD$
#

SUBDIR+=        local

/usr/ports/local/Makefile
# $FreeBSD$
#

SUBDIR += emulators
SUBDIR += games
SUBDIR += graphics
SUBDIR += net
SUBDIR += security
SUBDIR += textproc
SUBDIR += x11

.include <bsd.port.subdir.mk>

/usr/ports/local/emulators/Makefile
# $FreeBSD$
#

    COMMENT = Local Emulators for other operating systems

    SUBDIR += linux-wine

.include <bsd.port.subdir.mk>

/usr/ports/local/emulators/Makefile.inc
# $FreeBSD$
#
# This file needs to be copied into every local/*/ subdirectory to set
# common variables.

# Used to set the origin of the local port
PKGORIGIN=      local/${PKGCATEGORY}/${PORTDIRNAME}

# Used in the local ports tree to set dependencies on other local ports.
LOCALPORTSDIR=  ${PORTSDIR}/local

#Uncomment if you want your local packages to have a "-local" suffix.
#PGKNAMESUFFIX?= -local
