I agree and would love to have top ports data!  It is a terrible shame
that we have the top-port infrastructure, but not the data.  Sadly, I
haven't found time to coordinate this project yet due to all the other
Nmap development going on.  But if other people want to take the
reigns, that would be great.  I'd be happy to apply a reasonable data
set into SVN.  This list has more than 1,600 members, many of whom run
huge networks and thus could potentially contribute data.

Cheers,
