I don't think portmanager will find and move them but if the port gets
upgraded again then it'll recreate the packages in
/usr/ports/packages.

The best thing would possibly be to just search for all *.tbz files
under /usr/ports and move them into /usr/ports/packages/All if you
want them all in the same place.

I don't think it will affect any distfiles but I'm not sure if there
are any that have a .tbz suffix.
