`pkg search -o` is also an option:

| »»»» pkg search -o blaster
| ...
| audio/mp3blaster               MP3 console ncurses-based player

I have it set to the alias `pkg port` in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf. It
only works for ports that have corresponding packages in the official
repository, though; anything that can't be built into a package for
whatever reason, won't be included.
