When is a FreeBSD port not a port?

I've written a "few" utilities over the years that I've made available
in various places, but it might make sense to put them in
ports/sysutils. However, they were written on BSD and are therefore not
ports.
Should I submit them anyway (if I find time to clean them up, of
course)? Or if not, any (polite) suggestions as to where I should put
them? I don't use GitHub or SourceForge (too old to change my ways, and
I normally work off-line anyway).

On a slightly different point, I needed something to rate-throttle a
stream and before I wrote one I checked the ports tree for something
called "throttle", thinking this a likely name, and found just what I
was looking for - except it's been abandoned and removed. It was all of
15 minutes to write a new one, but does anyone know anything about the
original?
Thanks Frank.
