Only if you already know the full path to the file, and if you're only interested in the active port. What I have in mind is two-fold: - an alternative to spotlight's `mdfind -name` limited to files installed by MacPorts (which could be enough justification to exclude ${prefix} from SpotLight indexing). - a way to find the port(s) that install a given file, even if they're not currently active (as in, which port was it again I have to activate to re-enable that nifty command called something like ...). Thanks for the suggestions, I'll play around with them!
