There is other software in the ports that has or had obscure licenses. E.g we have Apache 2, we had graphviz etc. The ports tree is here for our users convenience. If a port has a strange license, you can always set the PERMIT_xy fields. Many users use ion, so why should we harrass them? The ports tree is the wrong area to fight license battles, imo. That said, I am obviously against the removal of ion.
