Sure, that would be helpful, but it looks like only 3 ports are 
currently associated with gitlab:

[...]/release/tarballs/ports $ grep -Ri "gitlab" .
./archivers/libaec/Portfile:homepage 
https://gitlab.dkrz.de/k202009/libaec
./gnome/uhttpmock/Portfile:homepage 
https://gitlab.com/groups/${name}
./kde/kcm-baloo-advanced/Portfile:git.url 
https://gitlab.com/baloo-kcmadv/baloo-kcmadv.git
./kde/kcm-baloo-advanced/Portfile:homepage 
https://gitlab.com/baloo-kcmadv/baloo-kcmadv

So probably not worth the work at the moment.
