Since nobody has objected to the idea of having ports references I don't
see why not.

The isue with categories or not can, as Ruslan noted, be handled by a
man page tinderbox so I don't think that is a real problem.

I understood on Ruslan that to add support for this it needs to be added
to the upstream GNU groff so I don't know how long time it would be
before port references could be used if it is decided that this is the
way to go.
