The work dir is not necessarily where you assume it is. If you mount / 
usr/ports r/o (i.e. in a jail, or shared via NFS), you probably do  
something like this in make.conf:

WRKDIRPREFIX?=  /var/ports/work
WRKDIR?=        ${WRKDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR:S/${PORTSDIR}//}

Running find on /usr/ports is not of much use then...
