They are installed, by default, under /opt/local/bin with "g"
prefixing each program name (ie. gxargs instead of xargs).  The
"with_default_names" variant is available which uses the names you're
more likely to be familiar with, though this may cause problems with
scripts which expect a specific version of findutils provided by Mac
OS X.

In general, you can discover the installed files of a port by using
the following command.

port contents <port>

ie.

$ port contents findutils
Port findutils contains:
  /opt/local/bin/gfind
  /opt/local/bin/glocate
  /opt/local/bin/goldfind
...
