I took a stab at this over the weekend.  It's broken up into two parts.
[1] is the addition to pkg_create and pkg_info and [2] is the addiction
to bsd.port.mk.

I mentioned this to pav@ on IRC a few days ago and I believe he and I
may have miscommunicated regarding the use of this patch.  With that
said, I figured I would toss this out to the list as a possible way of
recording the distfile(s) and patchfile(s) associated with a given
port/package.

The end result is a series of @distfile foo/bar.tar.gz lines in
+CONTENTS.  You can then use pkg_info -F to get a listing of them.

It's my first time doing something like this so please be gentle. :)
