Just a bit of nitpickery: I've found that piping the output to xargs
rather than using find's exec produces faster results. Plus, you (most
of the time) don't need to use constructs like {} \;. :)
I've been typing it like this for 20 years and my fingers can type {} \;
faster than a speeding bullet, or at least a run-away zimmer frame.
Leave us old fogeys in peace. You and your new fangled commands
starting with x that aren't X11 applications. If it wasn't in 4.1BSD it
isn't worth using. Anyway, the manual page for xargs just makes my
brain hurt. :)

% pkg_which epstopdf
epstopdf: not found
Just like pkg_info -W it doesn't seem to work unless the package is
installed

how to find which port has a given executable
Hi, I had asked this in a slightly different post but there was no reply so I am posting again. Is it possible to find out which port has a particular executable/script file ? It took me some time to find out if the script epstopdf was in latex or tex or tetex! Any easy way to do this ?

Here is an example:
pkg_info -W /usr/X11R6/bin/nedit
/usr/X11R6/bin/nedit was installed by package nedit-5.5
I think the question might have been about a file from port which wasn't
yet installed, in which case it's a little more time consuming:
% find /usr/ports -type f -name pkg-plist -exec egrep -H epstopdf {} \;
/usr/ports/chinese/cwtex/pkg-plist:share/texmf/cwtex/help/epstopdf.txt
/usr/ports/print/teTeX-base/pkg-plist:bin/epstopdf
/usr/ports/print/teTeX-texmf/pkg-plist:%%TEXMFDISTDIR%%/doc/help/Catalogue/entries/epstopdf.html
/usr/ports/print/teTeX-texmf/pkg-plist:%%TEXMFDISTDIR%%/tex/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf.sty
/usr/ports/textproc/rubber/pkg-plist:%%PYTHON_SITELIBDIR%%/rubber/graphics/epstopdf.py
/usr/ports/textproc/rubber/pkg-plist:%%PYTHON_SITELIBDIR%%/rubber/graphics/epstopdf.pyc
