"grep <file> /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS" would work for all installed ports.
Don't know if such a beast for all uninstalled ports should work
too, but compiling a small database for it (dbm) would be a better
solution than grepping for it.

But yeah, pkg_which or pkg_search should be nice to have by default.
