I'm working on adding LICENSE information to my ports, and have a

Yes, that's the ISC license,
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/isc-license.txt.
Right-O, so can we/I add that to ports/Mk/bsd.license*?
I also have dns/fpdns which has this:
http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/LICENSE.txt which looks like it
could be BSD, but I'm not sure. I also have several others in this
category.
That's a 3-clause BSD license variant.
Yeah, I guess I didn't ask my question properly. :) Can I use just
"BSD" for the license in these cases, or is there a need for us to
differentiate between this BSD license and the now-standard 2-clause
version?
net-mgmt/p5-Net-IP has http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/COPYING.txt
which could fall into the "perl" category, except there isn't one.
:)
Many Perl things are licensed under the same terms as Perl itself;
ie, dual-licensed under the GPL& Artistic license. (The latter
license is not well-written, and should be deprecated-- the GPL does
a better job.)
My vote would be that we add a "PERL" category, but maybe there is a
reason not to do this?
x11/xscreensaver doesn't have an explicit copyright/license file,
but it has this in the individual files: * xscreensaver, Copyright
(c) 1991-2010 Jamie Zawinski<j...@jwz.org> * * Permission to use,
copy, modify, distribute, and sell this software and its *
documentation for any purpose is hereby granted without fee,

that both that * copyright notice and this permission notice appear

the suitability of this * software for any purpose. It is provided
"as is" without express or * implied warranty. */ Seems like BSD to
me?
That's a MIT/X11 license minus the all-caps DISCLAIMER.
Oy, ok, so how do I classify it? Or am I correct in assuming we do not
yet have a category for it?
In any case, thanks for all the answers, very helpful!
Doug
