Is this really necessary? I don't really see how this could be
useful, especially with us planning to add deeper subtrees (and thus
making it harder to guess which category the port would be in).
Something that can be done against the whole tree with more options
seems better.

I'd rather put it in bsd.port.subdir.mk than all the subdir
Makefiles....

* search: ${PORTSDIR}/INDEX
* @grep ${.CURDIR} ${PORTSDIR}/INDEX | grep -i "${key}" | awk -F\| '{ printf("Port:\t%s\nPath:\t%s\nInfo:\t%s\nMaint:\t%s\nIndex:\t%s\nB-deps:\t%s\nR-deps

Well, this won't work if ${PORTSDIR} is a symlink. You need to
"normalize" the ${.CURDIR} part to match what INDEX uses.
Maybe we can add another keyword ("category" or something) that can be
used for search. (Or just add "-E" to the grep command line and have
people use extended regexps to specify the category alongside the
keyword. ;)
