I think the idea is quite silly all in all - There are 23k Ports a lot of 
which will have executeables - so everytime I make a typo - a database with - 
say 30,000-40,000 elements and give me a list back of things I could install 
from say the russian ports - I don't speak russian. I suggest looking at 
extending locate(1) or apropos(1) instead. Installed as a default in the shell 
I would count as a major reason to abandon FreeBSD.
