Portmgr has been, for quite some time now, looking into adding an extra tier to the ports tree.
Other than a) tradition and b) potential large amount of work getting all the location pointers retargeted ... what's stopping them?
It's not location pointers, it's reworking the Makefile code. The assumption that there are only 2 levels is also hardwired into other code, certainly portsmon and possibly the pointyhat build infrastructure.
There is also the school of thought that we ought to identify what problem we are trying to solve, and if it's merely a 'search/browse' type of problem, then we should fix our search/browse interfaces and leave the directory layout alone.
Unfortunately, this school of thought seems to have only one adherent, which is myself :-)
