Yes, I believe multiple categories are captured well by various online
port search engines (openports.pl, ports.su, www.ports.to, etc) even
though directories like "hamradio" are not in the ports tree. 

I checked and bsd.port.mk only enforces one of the tokens in CATEGORIES
to correspond to the parent directory in PKGPATH. The other tokens might
well not exist in the ports tree, at all. If used sparingly, that could
perhaps be useful for online searches.

Well-spotted, sorry! That was done in haste, and unnecessarily so. Do I
need to send a new tgz with correct indentation or the previous one is
good to be committed by you/Anthony?
