What you can do is a partial index:
create index fulltextindex on sometable (...) WHERE category1 IS NOT NULL
This is even better than the is_null() index because it will still be able to
do the full text search. However note that having three entire full text
indexes is going to consume a lot of space and incur a lot of disk i/o
overhead to maintain.
