One reason is that some sources are hard coded to look in /usr/local.
/usr/local is helpful for such utilities as a proper updatedb and
locate because the ones Apple sends is about as lame as can be. Is
Macports another Apple exclusionary software system?
Maybe this port gets you part of what you want.
port info findutiles
Typo :)
port info findutils
If there are software titles not in macports that you desire file a
ticket requesting they be added, or better yet create the port and
contribute. Portfiles are normally not very difficult to create.
