Carefully look at similar existing ports.  If they are
consistently placed in a category, place the new port there. 
Given a choice between consistency and accuracy in
classification, consistency is arguably a bit more important in
this context.

If there is *any* doubt, don't hesitate to post a "where should I
put this..." question to ports@freebsd.org.  It is much better to
do that than move a port after committing it.

[Personally I tend to the port categorizations/classification
debates.  My academic training and most of my real world work
experience is in library and information science, so I have some
strong opinions on the subject that other have seen as an
excessive obsession for splitting hairs.  :) ]
