Maybe this is a stupid question, but is your dports repository fully up 
to date?

"git log -1" from /usr/dports should return something like "Remove 
games/unknown-horizons: depends on removed fife" if it is.

The reason this is important is that the "USES+=" notation from FreeBSD 
is brand new.  Older versions of makefiles would break.

It doesn't work because DragonFly doesn't produce an index.  We probably 
could if I move our version of portsnap into dports but as of now we 
haven't seen a need (I think FreeBSD even wants to eliminate the INDEX 
because it's so fragile but I need confirmation on that.).

I'd just use "find", e.g. "find /usr/dports -type d -name <PORTNAME>"
That's pretty quick.
