Ah, then (and there are probably better ways, but this came to mind first): cd /usr/ports find . -maxdepth 3 -name pkg-plist | xargs grep <filename> Note, things like libraries aren't a good choice, since their version is likely to change. However, given your libiconv example: cd /usr/ports find . -maxdepth 3 -name pkg-plist | xargs grep "libiconv\.so" ./converters/libiconv/pkg-plist:lib/libiconv.so ./converters/libiconv/pkg-plist:lib/libiconv.so.3 Note, simply installing libiconv won't fix your issue as the app in question wants libiconv.so.1. In that case, it's best to also update the app that depends on the old version of the library. Checkout sysutils/portupgrade for a suite of tools that will help you manage your ports and packages.
