Sure, if sudo is installed. Sudo was not installed, so I had to search the ports tree for it. Same with openssl.

I setup an alias

alias pf='find /usr/ports -maxdepth 2 -type d | grep -i '

but was afraid I was missing a command in portmaster.

Well, OK. That seems a lot more effort, and loses your current directory, but that does work. It's fugly though.
