And the "port location" command can help you with that. So you could use:

$ ls -l $(port -q location zlib)
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  211184 Sep 21 03:27 /opt/local/var/macports/software/zlib/zlib-1.2.8_0+universal.darwin_14.i386-x86_64.tbz2

Or even:

$ ls -lT $(port -q location zlib) | awk '{print $6" "$7" "$8" "$9}'
