I'm working on a new port that installs a program with a name that seems like it would already be taken, but I don't have anything by that name on my system -- even though I have lots of ports installed. I know that I can use "portsdb -r" to find all the ports that depend on a given port, whether they're installed or not. Is there a similar way to determine if an uninstalled port installs a file with a given name?
