TIP: Search the Ports Tree
Ports and Packages Posted by Jason on Sunday March 18, @06:30PM
from the dept.
If you would like to search the ports tree for a specific application, or a general group of applications, try the make search command.

cd /usr/ports
make search key=some_application_name

examples:
make search key=netscape | more
make search key=browser | more

(hint: pipe the output into the more command, otherwise it may scroll off the screen)
