Nice work!

Looks like cargo is similar to npm; something like this portgroup is what I had envisioned for supporting ports that use npm. Well, npm has a way of generating a json file that contains the locked-down versions of all of the dependencies, so I imagined that the npm portgroup would just use that json file, from the files directory for example, rather than requiring its contents to be translated to tcl and put into the portfile.
