You don't need to install any ports; all ports' portfiles are already  
on your computer. Just go to the dports directory and grep through  
them. Portfiles are always in a directory for the port, which is in a  
directory for the group. So in the dports directory, "*/*/Portfile"  
gets all portfiles.

For example, try:

cd $(port dir MacPorts)/../.. && grep fs-traverse */*/Portfile
