While you're building the port, the packing list is assembled as
${WRKDIR}/PLIST where ${WRKDIR} is by default /usr/ports/foo/bar/work/
although it's not uncommon to locate it somewhere else by modifying
$WRKDIRPREFIX.
Once installed the PLIST is turned into /var/db/pkg/${DISTNAME}/+CONTENTS=
which adds information about the ports this one depends on, plus the
md5 sumes of all of the installed files.
