Try something more akin to this.

find /usr/ports/devel -name distinfo -exec grep -l ddd-3.3.11.tar.gz 
'{}' \; | cut -d / -f 1-5

You'd have to change ddd-3.3.11.tar.gz(I used it because I had it), but 
you can then output a list of all the directories you need to build the 
port in.  You can then probably use xargs to automatically make that 
port.
