One of the problems I had figuring this out for myself was that 
nothing claimed pkg_info: this command used to return nothing. My 
first instinct was to reinstall it but I had no idea how to.

[/usr/ports/www/p5-libapreq]# pkg_info -W /usr/local/sbin/pkg_info
/usr/local/sbin/pkg_info was installed by package pkg_install-20030714
