You can use "port contents" to find out what files the port provides.
In this case you get the following files (among others):

Port findutils contains:
  /opt/local/bin/gfind
  /opt/local/bin/glocate
  /opt/local/bin/gupdatedb
  /opt/local/bin/gxargs
  /opt/local/libexec/gbigram
  /opt/local/libexec/gcode
  /opt/local/libexec/gfrcode
  /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/find
  /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/locate
  /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/updatedb
  /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/xargs
  ...
