If it's the first thing... (this is assuming Meisner is a Grimm, which is still kind of a random assumption at the moment) remember, what Rolek Porter said was that Nick was the only Grimm he could find. Not that he was the only Grimm there was. The big implication here is really that, for a Grimm, Nick is easily findable. He has an established home and territory, a steady job in law enforcement, a reputation, and a social circle. All of which are good things that set him apart from most Grimms, who seem to go out of their way to avoid having those things... probably because it makes them too easily findable.

Meisner, OTOH... doesn't. Meisner has a lifestyle that is specifically geared to not being findable.

If it's the second thing... well, Meisner lives a very solitary existence (at least if all of the impressions he gave up until the premiere are even remotely accurate, which I'm starting to doubt, actually. But assuming they are accurate, he has a solitary existence). I don't think Porter really did... Porter seemed to want to steer clear of the "Grimm" lifestyle, but that's not really the same thing... he had a son, after all. He may actually have been a lot more like Nick than like Meisner, and as such, he probably had access to rumors about "The Portland Grimm," and was able to put it together with other information he may have had about Grimm families or Marie or any number of other things he may have had access to knowing (I have to assume that there's more out there in the world of Grimm, in the way of written information, than just the Grimm journals. Have I mentioned lately how much I want to see some written perspective on the world of Wesen and Grimms that was NOT written by Grimms? You'd think Wesen were universally illiterate.)
