My understanding is that Macports just pulls the source files from the
net and then compiles them, making any changes necessary for them to
work on a mac.  This means that they don't really
know/control/keep-track-of exactly what files are in the source and
catalog them for you.  I do agree that this might be useful...

It is somewhat odd to me that the kate webpage says that kate is in
kdebase and on macports (elsewhere too?) it is in kdesdk4, but I don't
know much about kde.
