What I find handy is a perl script called portsearch. It is located in
ports/Tools/scripts/

I moved it into a directory in my path. Then, I added an 
alias search    'portsearch -n $1'

You can do interesting things like
search ^bison
Where the port name begins with bison. There are a number of other 
interesting options. They are covered in a README.

Make search does something similar but the output from portsearch is 
cleaner.
