Err... i'm a bit confused ? are you talking about CATEGORIES keyword or subdirectories organization ? Fixing CATEGORIES marker is easy and can be done (if you use something that sorts ports by categories, like pkg_mgr (which sucks, i know)), creating a new toplevel dir and moving things around is a bit more complicated as we lose cvs history, and hence we try avoiding it.
