Sorry, I meant I need to know what package a file belongs to that does not

not where it came from.
My CVSup script executes
find /usr/ports -name "pkg-plist*" > /path/to/somewhere
after an update of the ports directory. Thus I can search a file with
cat /path/to/somewhere | xargs grep 'pattern'
This method is quick and dirty and does not cover all ports because some
of them have no pkg-plist file in their directory. Those ports use the
PLIST_FILES variable in their Makefile instead or generate a plist file
dynamically.
