Well, knowing which program is actually dumping core is progress of a
sort. However, you do need to match the binary being debugged
aganinst the generated core file, or the backtrace will unfortunately
be meaningless. There should be a pmStatus binary somewhere under
/usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager/work/portmanager-0.2.0 that you can
use.
