Good idea.

I couldn't manage to get find -path '/opt/local/var' -prune to work  
but ! seems to work.

sudo find /opt/local \( ! -path "/opt/local/var/*" -a ! -path "/opt/ 
local/apache2/*" -a ! -path "/opt/local/www/*" \) -name *.mp_*

I think these are two other directories that some of the ports may  
park user files like some of the web frameworks that allow user uploads.
