But it is not true and never was. pkg-message always contains many other
informations.
Or are these really essential?
Message from postgresql94-client-9.4.10_1:
The PostgreSQL port has a collection of "side orders":
postgresql-docs
For all of the html documentation
p5-Pg
A perl5 API for client access to PostgreSQL databases.
postgresql-tcltk
If you want tcl/tk client support.
postgresql-jdbc
For Java JDBC support.
postgresql-odbc
For client access from unix applications using ODBC as access
method. Not needed to access unix PostgreSQL servers from Win32
using ODBC. See below.
ruby-postgres, py-PyGreSQL
For client access to PostgreSQL databases using the ruby & python
languages.
postgresql-plperl, postgresql-pltcl & postgresql-plruby
For using perl5, tcl & ruby as procedural languages.
postgresql-contrib
Lots of contributed utilities, postgresql functions and
datatypes. There you find pg_standby, pgcrypto and many other cool
things.

Yes, it applies for PHP extensions spam on each `pkg upgrade` where I
get about 20 messages in a row like this:
Message from php56-zlib-5.6.29:
****************************************************************************
The following line has been added to your /usr/local/etc/php/ext-20-zlib.ini
configuration file to automatically load the installed extension:
extension=zlib.so
Totally useless messages taking about 150 lines...
Extensions were always automatically enabled on installation before
converting from one php.ini file to many small files.
