ie. If I had a particular version of the ports tree on a server,
how could I check to see if any of the programs in that tree were

Is there a simple command or sequence of commands to do this?
dir /var/d/pkg | grep <portname>

Ah. Not quite but thanks for telling me the location of the pkg
directory (btw, it's var/db/
I've now worked out how to get what I want via :
cd /var/db/pkg
for i in *
do
MATCHES=`grep -c $i /usr/ports/INDEX-6`
if [ $MATCHES -gt 0 ]
then
#echo "Pattern $i Matched $MATCHES times"
else
echo "Pattern $i not matched"
fi
done
In my case I was looking for files that weren't at the same revision
level as the ports tree but both options are accounted for.
Thanks all.
