Finding a file with wrong permissions

I managed to install a pkg that I created and somehow the file
+COMMENT wasn't created in /var/db/pkg/portname. I touched +COMMENT
in the correct directory because pkg_info was complaining about a
missing +COMMENT. Some time has gone by and I have forgotten which
port it is. Now pkg_info complains:
pkg_info: show_file: can't open '+COMMENT' for reading
I'm looking for a way to locate this file.
#find /var/db/pkg -perm 644 -name +COMMENT | wc -l
378
#pkg_info | wc -l
pkg_info: show_file: can't open '+COMMENT' for reading
379
I've looked through the manpage for find and can't find a 'not'
modifier. Is there an easy way to find a file that doesn't have a
specific permission. ie something like:
#find /var/db/pkg -perm !644 -name +COMMENT
