How to find ports name from package that is a flavor?

Given (1) a ports tree and (2) the name of a package that is a non-default flavor of a differently named port, how do I find which port it is coming from?

E.g. qemu-guest-agent
 
Maybe make -n of the port that has flavors and grep out the dependency builds that it triggers with this flavor enabled, and hope you recognize the special case port?

But I don't know which directory to start `make -n` in.

In the port dir but all dependencies that are already installed will not show up anymore. It's a chain of if conditions that shows what would be done by make in the current situation. Something must differ if you add a FLAVOR= assignment to the make command that's recognized..

It might not be exactly what you were hoping for.
Code: 
$ /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/portsearch qemu-guest-agent

Port:   qemu-guest-agent-11.1.0
Path:   /usr/ports/emulators/qemu
Info:   QEMU CPU Emulator (guest agent)
Maint:  bofh@FreeBSD.org
Index:  emulators
B-deps: ...
 
If the pkg is already installed:
Code: 
% pkg info -o qt6-base_sqldriver-sqlite       
qt6-base_sqldriver-sqlite-6.11.2 databases/qt6-base_sqldriver

Try the ports(7) search target (this requires the INDEX file, see index or fetchindex ):
Code: 
%  make  -C  /usr/ports  search  name=qemu-guest-agent  display=path
Path:    /usr/ports/emulators/qemu

Port:    emulators/qemu-guest-agent
Moved:    emulators/qemu@guestagent
Date:    2023-01-20
Reason:    Seperate port merged with main port as a flavor

For more details on the search target, see ports(7).

quicksearch:
Code: 
%  make  -C  /usr/ports  quicksearch  name=qemu-guest-agent
Port:    qemu-guest-agent-11.1.0
Path:    /usr/ports/emulators/qemu
Info:    QEMU CPU Emulator (guest agent)

Port:    emulators/qemu-guest-agent
Moved:    emulators/qemu@guestagent
Date:    2023-01-20
Reason:    Seperate port merged with main port as a flavor
