That is better, indeed.

No I haven't thought about that yet. I simply copied the Portage tree
layout as a convenience. I have wondered whether Portage has some sort
of naming convention, but I haven't been able to find anything on that.
Personally, I would just add WebKit to the appropriate category
(net-libs?). This would keep the BePorts tree somewhat intuitive.
Something unrelated now...
I might have been a bit too pessimistic about Haiku's progress when I
set up the BePorts website. That's why it's not called HaikuPorts.
Perhaps it's a good idea if I change the wiki pages to emphasize Haiku
ports (make Haiku the primary target)?
I have been trying to build Haiku on my PC (Ubuntu), but svn failed
twice to fetch the buildtools repository :/ It seemed to stall on the
same file on both tries. (It also stalled once on fetching the main
Haiku tree. A retry was successful though.) Is this a known problem with
Belios repositories?
