Leave us old fogeys in peace. You and your new fangled commands starting with x that aren't X11 applications. If it wasn't in 4.1BSD it isn't worth using. Anyway, the manual page for xargs just makes my brain hurt. :)
curious markings:
% find /usr/ports -type f -name pkg-plist -exec egrep -H epstopdf {} \;
Just a bit of nitpickery: I've found that piping the output to xargs
rather than using find's exec produces faster results. Plus, you (most
of the time) don't need to use constructs like {} \;. :)

pkg_which epstopdf
...is probably even faster and easier.
% pkg_which epstopdf epstopdf: not found
Just like pkg_info -W it doesn't seem to work unless the package is installed
