So, I have written a Python program that will do just that. It will work with either a local copy of a current ports INDEX file, or fetch one (via ftp or http) from a FreeBSD site. Out of sheer originality, I have named it portcheck, and you can read about it and download the tarball from: http://www.netspace.net.au/~gcross/portcheck.html I would appreciate comments, bug reports, etc, before I announce it to a wider audience.
