port echo 'maintainer:(\W|^)mk(\W|$)'


If you had wanted any permutation of your handle to be found you would use:


port echo '(' 'maintainer:(\W|^)mk-macports at techno.ms(\W|$)' or 'maintainer:(\W|^)techno.ms:mk-macports(\W|$)' or 'maintainer:(\W|^)mk(\W|$)' or 'maintainer:(\W|^)mk at macports.org(\W|$)' or 'maintainer:(\W|^)macports.org:mk(\W|$)' ')'
