I agree this. If we have a powerful search utility instead of the simple "make search", it doesn't matter how large the directories are.

Reading between the lines, the problem you're having is that the ports aren't well enough categorized at the moment. How about borrowing an idea from some of the knowledge databases, and using keywords to mark ports? Eg, instead of creating a www-server category, the apache port could be marked "server www". linux-opera could be market "binary browser client linux www" or something like that.
FreeBSD already has "virtual" categories -- categories that aren't used to physically sort the ports. For example, devel/tcl84/Makefile has: CATEGORIES= lang tcl84
tcl84 isn't a real folders, but it's listed in a number of port's $ make search key=tcl84 | grep "Port:" | wc -l 40
One thing I don't see is a way to search or sort by category, but I admit to not having looking very hard.
