Shell Menu that populates from /var/db/pkg

[Dan Mahoney, System Admin]

Hello all,

I'd like to have a shell menu on my system that gives them available 
programs they can learn, but that also "learns" from ports/packages which 
options are available.  (I.e. it won't list every "branch" port, but will 
list things from, say, editors, games, and possibly only "certain" things 
from graphics (for example I'd like to list imagemagick's commands and/or 
man page), but not gd (since gd is useless from a shell context).

Has anyone written something like this?  Or even close to?
