thanks for your replies.
% which adduser
/usr/sbin/adduser
Thus it is part of the base system, installed through /usr/src
rather than /usr/ports.
Also, as you are running (essentially) 7.x, this is probably
better on freebsd-questions than current.
I think you misunderstood his question.
This would be one way to do it:
find /usr/ports/ -type f -exec grep -sq adduser {} \; -print
How about man pkg_info
From memory: pkg_info -W /usr/sbin/adduser

That is horribly inefficient because it forks a separate
grep process for every single file under /usr/ports.
Also it will print a lot of false positive, because the
ports tree contains several files and scripts that call
adduser.
How about man pkg_info
From memory: pkg_info -W /usr/sbin/adduser
That won't work, because pkg_info only reports information
about packages that you have installed.
One way to find which ports provide a certain file is to
use the porgle search engine:
http://www.secnetix.de/tools/porgle/?w=pq=adduser
However, there is an adduser command in /usr/sbin which is
part of the FreeBSD base system. If some script complains
about that command being missing, you should invstigate
whether you do have that command in /usr/sbin.
It's unlikely that a port requires a different command with
the same name without having a dependency on the port that
provides that command.
