I am not sure a new category is necessary yet. These are still developer 
tools, so devel/ seems reasonable to me.

What might be more useful long term is a proper ports module for 
Node-based ports, similar to the existing port-modules(5) mechanism. The 
ports framework already has optional modules pulled in through MODULES, 
and non-core modules are normally looked up by pkgpath and a .port.mk file:

https://man.openbsd.org/port-modules.5

Something like this:

MODULES += lang/node

could provide a standard way to declare, fetch, cache, and hash npm 
dependencies from package-lock.json, so Node-based ports do not all need 
to reinvent that logic.

That would probably reduce maintenance work more than moving these ports 
into a new category.

Best,
David.
