The work dir is not necessarily where you assume it is. If you mount /
usr/ports r/o (i.e. in a jail, or shared via NFS), you probably do
something like this in make.conf:
WRKDIRPREFIX?= /var/ports/work
WRKDIR?= ${WRKDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR:S/${PORTSDIR}//}
Running find on /usr/ports is not of much use then...
