Citando Kevin Ballard :
If you want to find ports that provide a specific file, there's no way of doing that without having installed the port yet. If you've installed a port you can ask what port provides a given file on disk, but MacPorts does not know what files a given port will provide until it's installed.
Is it planned as a feature request for macports at a point in the future to provide such a mechanism (as debian or pkgsrc whose packages contain a plist mentioning all the files to be included) ? This feature would be interesting to have for example on the website, and as an addon to the provides action of port.
I don't think anyone is working on this. However, if the project ever gets to the point where it is distributing binaries to end users (instead of distributing automated build instructions) this would probably not be difficult to add. -- Daniel J.
