Use "tar jtvf $FILENAME" to get contents, where FILENAME will be something like "$PORT-$VERSION+$VARIANTS.$OS.$ARCH.tbz2". For example for a recent "ffmpeg": "ffmpeg-4.0.2_1+gpl2.darwin_16.x86_64.tbz2".

`port location` prints the location of that file, so more simply:

tar tjvf $(port -q location ffmpeg @4.0.2_1+gpl2)
