Why don't we split bsd.port.mk up?

Hi all,

I've been boring people on IRC with this and perhaps I need to widen
participation to get some opinions.

What do people think of this?

tl;dr -- bsd.port.mk is too big, Mk/ directory is cluttered,
.including files from ${PORTSDIR}/Mk in ports is ugly.

A preliminary patch is at [1], for the first part. Yes, I'm sure it'll
break horribly somewhere, but hopefully that'll show what needs
fixing/whether it's possible/practical.

Chris
