Hmmm, well, I have the first cut at this now.  As an added bonus, it
enforces having the port mentioned in the $SUBDIR variable of the 
category Makefile before it will add it to the INDEX[*].

Turns out there are at least 6 ports present in the tree but not hooked
up in that way:

happy-idiot-talk:/tmp:% portindex -o INDEX.m |& grep 'not referenced'
FreeBSD::Portindex::Tree:printindex(): /usr/ports/emulators/linux-vmware-toolbox6 is not referenced from the /usr/ports/emulators category -- not added to INDEX
FreeBSD::Portindex::Tree:printindex(): /usr/ports/emulators/vmware-guestd6 is not referenced from the /usr/ports/emulators category -- not added to INDEX
FreeBSD::Portindex::Tree:printindex(): /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nipper is not referenced from the /usr/ports/net-mgmt category -- not added to INDEX
FreeBSD::Portindex::Tree:printindex(): /usr/ports/net/asterisk12-app-ldap is not referenced from the /usr/ports/net category -- not added to INDEX
FreeBSD::Portindex::Tree:printindex(): /usr/ports/x11-fonts/libXfont is not referenced from the /usr/ports/x11-fonts category -- not added to INDEX
FreeBSD::Portindex::Tree:printindex(): /usr/ports/x11-fonts/xfs is not referenced from the /usr/ports/x11-fonts category -- not added to INDEX

as well as a number of duplicate PKGNAMEs -- mostly to do with A4 vs
letter paper size.

	Cheers,

	Matthew

[*] Should this always be enforced?  Hmmm... I think I'll add a
'--strict' option, including that. Being able to add arbitrary ports
into the INDEX can be vaguely useful sometimes.
