Is there a way for me to find out which port provides the fig2dev
binary? I tried pkg_which and ports_glob, but I think that the former
operates on installed ports only, and the latter operates on port
names only.
Hm. Ah, I could grep fig2dev /usr/ports/*/*/pkg-plist, but is that
the only way?

I use Emacs from CVS on a daily basis. Currently, I have a working
copy which build and install into a subdir of my home directory.
But I think building Emacs as a port might provide advantages in
integrating with add-on packages that are available as ports, such as
AUCTeX.
I searched a bit,
The default setup is to include /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin in
$PATH. This means that entering lpr -Pfoo doesn't work for printing
on my machine, I have to say /usr/local/bin/lpr -Pfoo.
It is obvious that I could change $PATH to mention /usr/local/bin
before /usr/bin, but is that the right
