In regards to your statement on not being able to find most of your ports 
binaries and etc...

In general, you can find out where things are installed by taking a look at the 
contents of the 'pkg-plist' file in a port's directory and by 
tacking '/usr/local' on to it as a prefix.  Of course, the port x11/XFree86-4 
is an exception.
