A DragonFly developer (Antonio Huete, aka tuxillo) has added dports package lists to our grok application several weeks ago:
http://grok.dragonflybsd.org/ As most of you know, a large percentage of ports have their package lists automatically generated, so you can't reliably grep for installed files in the ports tree. Moreover, pkg-plist contains %% variables. However, this grok database is rebuilt periodically from generated dports packages, so they represent all the files and directories available in dports. This is a resource that will likely be useful to FreeBSD ports developers, thus the reason for this post. It should be noted the repository is limited to ports that build on DragonFly. Notably this excludes all linux packages, fuse packages, BROKEN ports, and about 1300 ports that have never built on DragonFly. Until such a time FreeBSD has a similar resource for reliably searching package list, please feel free to bookmark the DragonFly Grok page and use this one.
