That was a bad idea, since new collections are added from time to time.
If you really feel the need to avoid fetching some ports-categories it
is better to use a refuse file instead.
Personally I stopped doing even that some time ago, since some make
targets require a complete ports tree.
Unless you are seriously short on diskspace I would strongly recommend
using 'ports-all' to a complete ports tree.

It does seem as if your ports-supfile is at fault, yes.

Probably not.
