 * Because it's in /usr/local/bin? :-)

And in case you want to ask "why is it in /usr/local/bin?", it's our
policy to install ports stuff in /usr/local/* for non-X stuff and
/usr/X11R6/* for X stuff (by default).

This is to make it possible for the user can back up /usr/local,
/usr/X11R6 and upgrade the OS and still have the old ports stuff, that
she spent so much time to compile and set up, intact. :)
