FWIIW, I would suggest using pkg_info -Ia | awk '{print $1}' to get a 
list of all installed ports. The data in /var/db/pkg is private to the 
package tools, and while it is unlikely that the format will change soon 
(since some important tools would break) nobody guarantees that this 
works. At least portupgrade puts `pkgdb.db' in this directory, which is 
no package.

OTOH you can continue to use that method, since it is fast and usually 
works, I just wanted to notify you that it is unsupported (and might 
break in the future).
