I was thinking of something which is far more comprehensive and systematic. Whilst installed options are obtained by examining /var/db/ports the files do not do not provide the detailed historical information which I envisage. The freshports/freebsd sites will tell us when the distributed ports tree was changed but does not provide a historical record of changes to the local ports tree.
