Buildbot itself has no support for browsing or searching builds by port 
name. The easiest way to do this is to go to 
<https://ports.macports.org/> and enter the name of the port you're 
interested in. That will take you to a page like 
<https://ports.macports.org/port/freeciv/summary> which will show the 
success or failure of the last recorded build on each OS version via the 
"Port Health" indicators near the top.

You can click those indicators to go straight to the latest build on 
build.macports.org, or click the Build Information tab to see all 
recorded builds. Note that logs may not be available for older builds, 
as they are deleted after a while due to taking up a significant amount 
of space across all builds of all ports.
