I actually want to reduce NO_PACKAGE ports wherever practical
(excluding only those that have enormous file sizes).  One more port
isn't going to change things, and we'll get to check that the port
remains buildable and fetchable over time.  If you really don't want
to distribute the package (perhaps you aren't allowed to anyway), you
can use RESTRICTED and NO_CDROM.
