I just yesterday wrote this crummy little script which avoids the need
to change directories.  It doesn't work for some port names which don't
have identically-named directories (eg, "xemacs" and "xemacs21/").

#!/bin/sh
## This returns the e-mail address of the maintainer of port specified 
##  by the sole argument which must be the pathname (abs or rel) of the
##  port's directory or the version-less port name.

if [ ${#} != 1 ]; then
    echo "USAGE: ${0} <pathname-of-port-or-portname>"
    exit 1
fi
XXX="${1##*/}"  ## Remove any dirs
if [ "${XXX}" = "$1" ]; then   ## if it didn't have any dirs
    XXX="$(whereis ${XXX})"
    for DIR in $XXX; do
        if [ "/usr/ports/${DIR##/usr/ports/}" = "${DIR}" ]; then
            grep -H MAINTAINER "${DIR}/Makefile"
        fi
    done
else
    grep MAINTAINER "${1}/Makefile" | cut -f 2
fi

## The End.
