   In the port directory of the program you are installing, the file
pkg-plist contains a list of the installed files. The executable is
usually going to be the file installed in /usr/local/bin, or
/usr/local/sbin.

   You can also use pkg_info to find what was installed and where it was
placed.

   pkg_info -L PACKAGENAME
