pkg install accepts pkg-origin, pkg-name or pkg-name-version
There is also a -x option to treat the pkg-name as regex

So if you wanted to install firefox you could use

pkg install www/firefox
pkg install firefox-47.0.1_2,1
pkg install firefox

To search for ports you can try http://www.freshports.org
The category and portname can be seen in lists and the pkg origin can
be seen in the url of port details page which shows the commands to
build or pkg install the port.
