Recently I tried it, but it does not recognize my local category.
I thought it uses ``make describe'' so it should find my local category.
In the end, I use ``make index''.

If all local ports are all ports and you use portsnap, I think you can
just do something like:

cd /usr/ports/local && make describe | grep -v '^===>' > /tmp/desc.local
gunzip -c "${WORKDIR}/files/`look $1 ${WORKDIR}/tINDEX | \
        cut -f 2 -d '|'`.gz" > /tmp/desc.ports
cat /tmp/desc.ports /tmp/desc.local | \
        /usr/libexec/make_index /dev/stdin > /usr/ports/INDEX-6

That's how portsnap build the INDEX file.

Hope this helps,
