Something like this?

% pkg info -Rx trousers | grep -EA 6 'Creating (users|groups)'
echo "===> Creating groups."
if ! ${PW} groupshow _tss >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Creating group '_tss' with gid '601'."
  ${PW} groupadd _tss -g 601
else
  echo "Using existing group '_tss'."
fi
echo "===> Creating users"
if ! ${PW} usershow _tss >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Creating user '_tss' with uid '601'."
  ${PW} useradd _tss -u 601 -g 601 -L daemon -c "TrouSerS user" -d
/var/empty -s /usr/sbin/nologin
else
  echo "Using existing user '_tss'."
fi

(picking a random port that installs a new user and group)

I'm afraid there isn't a neat little report that will let you list this
information for all of your installed packages in some nicely formatted
way -- mostly that's because pkg(8) only sees a pre-install shell script
which is what creates the user/group, and not a list of userids to add.
