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
/usr/ports/japanese/ptex-common/pkg-plist:bin/epstopdf
