Perhaps the usefulness of portals and categories can be combined. For example, but unrealistic in the short term, clicking to a standard category link should open the portal page of the same name if it exists.
You could just put {{Portal:{{PAGENAME}} }} at the top of the category page, although I appreciate how difficult it is to change the relevant policy.
I came to the conclusion many years ago that the easiest way to make a policy change on Wikipedia is to spend 6 months writing and deploying software that requires or implements the change. It's a lot easier to get a majority in a software deployment vote than it is to build consensus behind an editorial policy.
