Indeed, it's pretty trivial.
I think the sort of article Craig was looking for was more on the
order of
apt command pkg command
apt-get update pkg update (*1)
... ...
(*1) Explanation of differences between how apt behaves and how pkg
behaves.
The set of common apt operations is pretty well-known, and most of
them have direct pkg(8) equivalents.
