And if you (a) don't want to type in the full path or (b) want to make
sure that the file you execute actually does come from the port, you can
use a double-which.  E.g.,

$ pkg which `which ruby`
/usr/local/bin/ruby was installed by package ruby-1.8.7.371,1

while OTOH...

$ pkg which `which clang`
/usr/bin/clang was not found in the database
