Great! I was thinking about these too, you know. :)

* 2. The PLIST for these ports cannot be known in advance, so I

I think it's probably better for someone (you?) to create source
tarballs once in a while and put it up in LOCAL_PORTS. The ports
should be for a known working version -- we don't want the build to
fall over because the user typed "make" just after someone committed a
bogus .sgml file.
* 3. Where should these "document" ports live?
I think it warrants a new category all by itself. How about
"documents", with the following it pkg/COMMENT:

We can also say something about the processing tools not belonging
here, but that's obvious from the existence of "textproc" category.
