Yes, the main idea is to find which package you need to install to have a
certain file in your system.

The first example that comes to my mind is a perl script who uses 
LWP::Simple module.
To know which package you need to install in order make your script 
works, just type :

$ pkg provides 'LWP/Simple.pm$'
Name    : p5-libwww-6.31
Desc    : Perl5 library for WWW access
Repo    : FreeBSD
Filename: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/LWP/Simple.pm
