If you don't have the file installed on your system, then MacPorts
has no way of knowing what port provides it.
In terms of dependency resolution, various ports say "I depend on
library foo", and it finds the port for it because that port is
explicitly declared in the dependency.
But in the general case, MacPorts really has no idea what ports
provide what files until you install the ports.

How does one find a port containing a file, e.g. mkisofs? Generally,
which listing/installation mechanisms, similar to dpkg, are available?
