Re: [update][proposal] sysutils/nnn add nerd font flavor

For the fonts I think I'd probably pick a couple that already exist in
ports/fonts. Simplest approach for ports layout is probably like
ports/fonts/nerd-fonts/{terminus,profont,noto) or similar, using the
release zips rather than downloading the full repo, factoring out as much
as possible to Makefile.inc.
