If you don't need version numbers, you can list just package names
pkg query %n
or package origins
pkg query %o

Anything else is on your side and even if I understand your complaints 
(and I agree with some of them) I don't thing it will change anything on 
the future of packaged base.
So it is better to spend our time on working local solution to new 
problem. It has some pros and some cons and I hope the pros will 
outweigh cons.
