Certainly, if you run that command, you will get an error:

$ port search --ghostscript --glob 'pkp*'
Error: search does not accept --ghostscript

There's nothing wrong or unexpected about that.

What are you actually trying to do?

If you're trying to find out what ports we have whose names or descriptions contain "ghostscript", "port search" can do that:

$ port search ghostscript
espgs @7.07.1_8 (print, textproc)
    this port is only a stub and has been made obsolete by ghostscript

ghostscript @9.16_1 (print)
    GPL Ghostscript, An interpreter for PostScript and PDF

ghostscript-fonts-hiragino @9.16 (print, japanese, chinese)
    Hiragino font for ghostscript 9.16

gimp-print @4.2.7 (print)
    Print Plugin & Ghostscript (and CUPS) Driver

Found 4 ports.

If you're trying to find out what files are contained in a port, install it, then use "port contents":

$ port contents ghostscript | head
Port ghostscript contains:
  /opt/local/bin/dvipdf
  /opt/local/bin/eps2eps
  /opt/local/bin/font2c
  /opt/local/bin/gs
  /opt/local/bin/gsbj
  /opt/local/bin/gsc
  /opt/local/bin/gsdj
  /opt/local/bin/gsdj500
  /opt/local/bin/gslj
