http://freshports.org allows you to do searches of pkg-plist files.  It's a
little finicky, though.

Doing a search for "g-ir-scanner" returns 0 hits, regardless of what type
of search is done.

Doing a search for "bin/g-ir-scanner" returns gobject-introspection.

So if you know the path for the file (relative to /usr/local), then the
search works.
