Make search is pretty simple-minded. It searches the INDEX file. So if you haven't run 'portsdb -U' you won't see it. This raises an interesting point... the portupgrade tools use an env var to hold the patch to the INDEX file. So if you use an alternative index file, make search is borked. Question is, does ports itself need to track features of the portupgrade package? If it does, it's kind of a backwards dependency. If it doesn't, then either you can't use certain features of that package or else parts of ports wont work as expected.
