Check out the port.1 manpage. It has detail on various ways to
search, including pseudo-portnames.
But in general, you can do `port search portname`, where portname can
contain globbing characters.
If you want to find ports that provide a specific file, there's no
way of doing that without having installed the port yet. If you've
installed a port you can ask what port provides a given file on disk,
but MacPorts does not know what files a given port will provide until
it's installed.

Greetings -- what's the ports equivalent of Gentoo's equery, i.e. how
can I find out into which ports various gcc versions are packaged, or
which port contains say "basename" utility, or another known tool?
