As i wrote earlier with pkgtools-to-portmanager.rb.

Use the source ...

  cd ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports/}/sysutils/portmanager \
  && make extract \
  && {
        src=$( make -V WRKSRC )
        find "$src" -type f -name pkgtools-to-portmanager.rb
        sleep 2
        {PAGER:-less} "$src/programmer-notes.txt" # search 'pkgtools'
      }
