This would fall under "Designed for". The communcation hangup here is in the definition of "native". Perhaps a vendor builds a FreeBSD software product. Maybe the vendor knows nothing of "FreeBSD Ports(tm)". I would still call this a "native port" because it was explicitly made to run on FreeBSD without emulation. The vendor gets the extra recognition.
