A more typical search is:
cd /usr/ports
make search key=mkiso

This may or may not yield anything useful.  I tend to use the Jeffrey
Friedl search tool, which is a much faster implementation of the 
find . -type f -name pkg-descr | xargs grep -i <name>
method.

Many people will recognize his name.  He literally wrote the book on
regular expressions.  This tool is probably the one I use more than
any other when looking for something.  Second thing I use when I know
all or part of the file name is locate(1).

I found it some 5 or 6 years ago - Jeffrey wrote it in 1994, and I
have (fortunately) been able to hang on to it ever since.  The license
is open:
## Jeffrey Friedl (jfriedl at yahoo.com), Dec 1994.
## Copyright 19.... ah hell, just take it.

Good man, that Jeffrey.

I haven't been able to find any definitive update, but it hasn't
required any more modification than the perl path over the years.

I'll put my copy at the following URL for a while in case anyone wants
it: http://ww2.keyslapper.org/search

It is fruitless:
  to attempt to indoctrinate a superannuated canine with
  innovative maneuvers.  (you can't teach an old dog new tricks)
