You could use find, but it is easier to use the built in facilities to search for ports. If you are in the ports directory you can: make search name=name_of_port to search for a port by name and: make search key=key_to_search_for to search by key. You can also use quicksearch instead of search to reduce the verbosity of the results. If you read the ports man page, you will find a bunch of other nifty things you can do with the ports system.
