You don't say whether you are running old pkg_*, but it is not only not
supported, but broken, so I suspect that you are now using pkgng which no
longer stores data in flat files in /var/db/pkg. portmaster still uses that
directory structure and puts distfiles (a pointer to the distfiles, not the
files themselves) there, but if you install ports without using portmaster,
there will be no entry.

Use "pkg info PORT" to get information on ports/packages installed. The
data is now in an sqlite DB.
