port in NetBSD terminology means port to a different hardware
architecture.  i presume you are not talking about any hardware here so
the correct term is package.

it's known issue that the INDEX generating process is slow and it could
last for several hours, even days.

what you might want to do is as simple as:

 $ cd pkgsrc
 $ grep -i stfp */Makefile

which is really quick. althought in this case returns no matches, so you
can try:

 $ grep -i stfp */*/PLIST*

which will take a bit longer but without any matches again, that means
there is most likely no package for stfp.  i must admit that i have no
idea what stfp is supposed to be.
