This does the exact equivalent of your one-liner above: find the
packages that were installed or updated more recently than the ports
index was last modified:

pkg query -e "%t > `stat -f %m /usr/ports/INDEX-9`" "%n-%v"

This should do what you want if you're using portsnap and then compiling
pkgs from ports.  If you're pulling packages from a repo,
then try comparing against the timestamp of /var/db/pkg/repo.sqlite
instead.

However, if you're using pkg against a repo, when you type 'pkg upgrade'
it does anyhow show you a list of all the packages it is going to
install or upgrade.  There's also the HANDLE_RC_SCRIPTS setting in
pkg.conf that may be of interest to you.
