If the certbot-apache and certbot-nginx *ports* will continue to exist (but moving from separate Portfiles to being subports in the certbot Portfile) then no, you will not be using the obsolete Portgroup; you will be deleting the old separate certbot-apache and certbot-nginx Portfiles. The PortIndex entries for the new subports of the certbot port will replace the old entries for the old separate ports, since entries are keyed off the port name. It's just a matter of getting portindex to do that. I have at times in the past needed to delete the PortIndex and PortIndex.quick files and let portindex regenerate both. That may not have been necessary, and it may suffice to just `touch` the new certbot Portfile before running portindex.
