You can also pkg_add sqlports, run "sqlite3 /usr/local/share/sqlports"
amd run a query like
select fullpkgpath,permit_package,permit_distfiles from ports where
permit_package != 'Yes' or permit_distfiles != 'Yes';
The various values aren't a problem though. The values are lower-cased
before being compared with 'yes'. Anything else is "don't package" or
"don't distribute distfiles". Normally the reason would be given instead
of just 'No' but it doesn't matter too much.
