Actually, I never understood why /usr/src has to be there.  People who
want the source can surely create the directory by themselves, same
for /usr/ports.

 * /usr/ports explicitly.)

I don't think /usr/ports is necessary for a system to function.  The
definition in bsd.port.mk is just a default.  You can very well have
it elsewhere.  The same could be said for /usr/local, now that
bsd.port.mk creates ${PREFIX} before running mtree on BSD.local.dist.
