pkg-shlib is implemented, but turned off in the default configuration.
As I recall, you need to add:

SHAREDLIBRARIES: yes

to /etc/pkg.conf.  (Actually, check the pkg.conf man page on the
specifics of that: I'm unfortunately not near anywhere I can confirm the
syntax right now.)

Once the shared library tracking function is enabled, you'll need to
install from ports to populate the DB tables.
