Of course everyone know, how to do it. 🙂 except me, old Linux geek. 🙂
First, search for it, second install

ms2# whereis nmap
nmap: /usr/ports/security/nmap
ms2# cd /usr/ports/security/nmap
ms2# make install

Second way, how to search:

# cd /usr/ports
# make search name=nmap

Port: nmap-5.61.t5
Path: /usr/ports/security/nmap
Info: Port scanning utility for large networks
