The FreeBSD Ports Tree
The ports collection lives in /usr/ports. Go into that directory now, and take a look around; what you see should resemble Listing 15.4. You'll notice that every category that you already saw in the sysinstall program is here as a directory. (The list may not be 100% accurate for you because categories are reorganized on a fairly regular basis.)
