This will bring it into line with all of the other port categories. However, I'm slightly confused: I thought separate COMMENT files were deprecated nowadays. Yet this is clearly not the case for the per-category Makefiles in each subdir. By my reading bsd.port.subdir.mk has all of the machinery necessary to support just defining a COMMENT variable in each Makefile. Given that we're in a ports freeze, now is probably not the time to fiddle with such things, but I'll submit a PR in a while for later consideration. Unless there are any great objections?
