Its category checker is overzealous. For example if you "sudo port  
lint phpmyadmin" you get "Error: Unknown category: php". True, there  
is no top-level category directory called "php", but we decided that  
extra "virtual" categories aren't really a problem, so long as the  
"main" (first) category listed in the portfile is in fact the  
category directory the port is in. So this should be fixed before  
releasing 1.6. Otherwise people see the output of port lint and go  
removing all sorts of allegedly invalid categories when they  
shouldn't necessarily be doing that.
