wxWidgets is not listed on the Gentoo-Portage.



Perhaps dev-util/wxWidgets or wxBeOS or is there one
that fits better?
Gentoo has x11-libs/wxGTK, reflecting the backend (GTK+). MacPorts just has wxWidgets (I'd assume an Aqua backend then).
In most cases however port names are lower-case, so if we invent something new let's try to stick with that. Let's try not to call things BeOS, and dev-util sounds wrong (better *-libs).
In this particular case, I am not even sure if it should be listed as an official port at all. I don't really know wxWidgets, but it seems more like an interface rather than a unified code base (i.e., in the event that Gtk+ were available on Haiku, we'd end up with two separate wxWidgets implementations). So if this is a BeOS-only project, we haven't really provisioned documenting these things (yet). Listing usable BeOS software is something we could leave to BeBits/HaikuWare/ etc. If we do want to list some that really need porting attention from the Haiku community, I'd suggest to create a new category, e.g. be-libs. Or just create one or more Wiki pages providing external links, without using the PortLog plugin.
