Actually, these days, you don't even need the what. 

yum provides */whatever.

(I have a small page on it, as it often came up on Fedora forums, at
http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/yumprovides.html)

As Christian says, for Deb based distributions, it's apt-file search.  (You
have to, at least last time I checked, install the apt-file program then
run update.)

FreeBSD unfortunately, doesn't seem to have a similar thing--one can write
a script to search all the ports pkg-plist files.
