No, it doesn't.

After looking at /etc/portsnap.conf, I tried adding 'INDEX INDEX-8 DESCRI=
BE.8' at the end, but I', getting this message:

Building new INDEX files... DESCRIBE.8 not provided by portsnap server; I=
NDEX-8 not being generated.

And in /var/db/portsnap/tINDEX there is no DESCRIBE.8.
So maybe this DESCRIBE.8 should be created on the server and included in =
the snapshot.
