I'm working on a new port that installs a program with a name that seems

I know that I can use "portsdb -r" to find all the ports that depend on
a given port, whether they're installed or not. Is there a similar way
to determine if an uninstalled port installs a file with a given name?
As someone kindly reminded me, "find" and "grep" are my friends:
$ cd /usr/ports
$ find . -name "pkg-plist" -exec grep -H "bin/progname" {} \;
$ find . -name Makefile -exec grep -H "bin/progname" {} \;
