The thing to do instead is:

$ cd /usr/ports
$ make search key=whatever

This gizmo seems to elude an awful lot of people... it took me
too long to hear about it.  As a result, I added a specific mention
of it to the Handbook some months ago.

flarn:/usr/ports$ make search key=3270
Port:   x3270-3.1.1.6
Path:   /usr/ports/x11/x3270
Info:   3270 Terminal emulator.
Maint:  volf@oasis.IAEhv.nl
Index:  x11
B-deps: XFree86-3.3.2
R-deps: XFree86-3.3.2
