One of the NetBSD forums is called: "NetBSD Ports and Packages".
I wonder if it would be more appropriate to instead call the forum "NetBSD Packages".
The reason is that in the context of NetBSD, a port does not refer to a third-party application. Rather, it refers to a system architecture.

Port
This is the term used by FreeBSD and OpenBSD people for what we call a package. In NetBSD terminology, “port” refers to a different architecture.

Just a thought.
