Is there an easy way to find out which port loads which library?

Most shells won't allow an argument list that long.

% find /usr/ports -depth 3 -name pkg-plist -exec grep libfoobar.so \{} \;

has been shown to be faster than hacking around arg list limits with echo |
xargs.

Unfortunately neither method works with automatically generated plists....
