I seem to have misremembered. Lots of portgroups use namespaces but only for procedures, not options. This makes sense since options are intended to be used by portfiles whereas we've always said that anything in a namespace should not be used in a portfile (though there are many examples of ports that violate this out of necessity that some things in base are not accessible to portfiles in another way).
