I also need to quickly look up origin -> pkgname and would suggest
placing this in the INDEX file. Then you have the foundation in place to
be able to run 'make vim-7.1.2.tbz' in, say, /usr/ports/ and it will
first create gettext-x.y.tbz and stuff. Ie, it could resolve/build
dependencies *before* even starting the build in editors/vim.
This then quickly leads to parallel pkg builds working (think: make -j3
vim-7.x.y.tbz)

This info is already in INDEX (the origin is the second field).
I don't think INDEX can be used for my purposes. This is because the
mapping origin->pkgname can change, e.g. audio/mpg123 might map to
mpg123-vvv or mpg123-esound-vvv (where vvv is the version number). This
depends upon environment variables or what other packages are installed.
For my purposes we have to have an origin->pkgname look up table which
represents the names of packages that have actually been installed.
(And even the current scheme might get this wrong, as it merely tells
you what the package name is if you had just installed it.)
The other problem with INDEX is that it takes way too long to produce to
keep it completely up to date.
