Sometime ago I proposed the following change.

I got several "yes please" from members of the public,
but no actionable response from members of the ports group
So I am asking again.

As a src committer I don't feel qualified to do the commit myself and would like a guide/mentor for the task if I'm to do it myself.

This patch is pretty self explanatory.

it allows us to keep patches for various ports separately in a sparse hierarchy while not having to write to the ports tree itself.

In case the list scrubs hte text attachment (diff) here's the description part of the diff.

If anyone thinks this is a good idea, I'd like it to go in as we have to maintain it..
I could commit it myself but haven't had my ports wings awarded yet..
