Here is an implementation of your idea.

cd /usr/ports
list="`for subcat in \`grep SUBDIR Makefile |cut -f 2 -d=\` ; do grep ^MD5 $subcat/*/distinfo* 2>/dev/null ; done |cut -f 2 -d '(' |cut -f 1 -d ')'`"
for file in `find ./distfiles -type f |cut -b 13-` ; do if [ -z "`echo "$list" |grep $file`" ] ; then echo "outdated $file" ; fi ; done

But it's better not to invent the wheel and use sysutils/portupgrade's
portsclean. At least someone has tested it before us and there is no risk for
deleting something valuable by mistyping some weird commands :)
