The long-term plans are to drop PORTDIR and PORTDIR_OVERLAY completely, the reason being that it is not flexible enough: With repos.conf you can specify details for every repository, you are not even forced to have a *single* major repository (AFAIK, this is called mix-ins in some other package managers), etc.
