How does one test the existence of a specific port? E.g.

The answer to your actual question depends on whether by "exists" you 
mean exists in the ports tree, or is installed, or is active.

But more importantly, you should almost certainly not do this, because 
it makes the build non-reproducible. Just declare dependencies on what 
your port needs.
