Well, I don't know if it finds the **best**, but:
[179] Sat 11.Dec.2004 8:47:51
[kadmin@ezekiel][/usr/ports]
make search name=fastest_cvsup
Port: fastest_cvsup-0.2.8
Path: /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup
Info: Finds fastest CVSup server
Maint: ports@FreeBSD.org
B-deps: perl-5.8.5
R-deps: perl-5.8.5

Hmm, interesting idea. Here is a patch
against handbook/mirrors/chapter.sgml;
if you wish, you can submit a doc PR with
your request and the patch attached and
see what happens:

If you submit such a PR, be sure and start the subject
line with the string "[PATCH]", as it helps the guys to
find the "mostly done" PR's more easily ... ;-)
Have a good day!
