No, as far as I know, there is no such tool. People have been discussing stuff that does scan /var/db/pkg for names and compare them to the ports. Might even want to make something that's greps INDEX and only takes the first part up till the pipe `|' char and then compare that to the contents of /var/db/pkg. mergemaster might have some ideas which you could look at if you want to set up such a new program. Then again, I might even start doing it myself. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best A newborn star of Magic...
