Also add it to the definition of VALID_CATEGORIES in Mk/bsd.port.mk and do a diff -u on that too. Step 3 is to use send-pr (use a change-request to ports) with a request for a new cateogry, attach the patches and submit it. Will it succeeed? I would be positive, since it is a clearly a category which has a community, which is big enough to have its own virtual category and which is bigger than the average virtual category.
