This was inspired by revisiting ticket #37832 after seeing cal's commit r102355 in irc. The following categories only have a single port in them:
mercurial: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=mercurial (currently only contains hg-forest, could also possibly contain mercurial, py*hgsvn, py*mercurial_keyring, py*hggit, py27-hgsubversion, and tortoisehg)
win32: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=win32 (currently only contains nsis, could also possibly contain ASFRecorder, i386-mingw32*, icoconvert, mystonline-wine, octave-windows, ophcrack, p5 *parse-win32registry, pev, png2ico, rdesktop*, wine*, and wxmsw)
wsn: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=wsn (currently only contains nesc, not sure what else it could contain)
squeak: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=squeak (currently only contains squeak, pretty sure that's the only thing it could contain)
lua: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=lua (currently only used for luash, could also be used for lpeg, lua*, ocaml-lua, prosody, swig-lua, texlive-luatex, toluapp, and wxLua)
ipv6: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=ipv6 (currently only used for aiccu, could also be used for a lot of other things)
html: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=html (currently only used for xml2, could be used for so many other things that it might not be worth it)
emacs: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=emacs (currently only used for po-mode.el, could also be used for auctex, cedet, *.el, ecb, emacs*, erc, ess, jove, lookup, magit, mg, nxml-mode, org-mode*, ProofGeneral, psgml, py*pymacs, slime, tex-whizzytex, vile, xemacs, and zile)
Also the [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=database "database"] and [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=databases "databases"] categories should probably be combined with one another. Same thing with the [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=ml "ml"] and [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=ocaml "ocaml"] categories.
(Note: All "*"s in the above are wildcards)
