Does /var/cache/pkg ever get cleaned out?

I've got files going back as far as 2014 (and so help me, one that claims 
to be 1974):

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   2119648 Nov  7  2014 awstats-7.3,1-c836dfdf16.txz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     94028 Nov  7  2014 portupgrade-2.4.13_1,2-1e91f12d05.txz

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   2492468 Oct 24  2014 openssl-1.0.1_16-79d63feebc.txz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    753604 Oct 24  2014 sudo-1.8.11.p1-5a500fa78b.txz
[...]
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   2568456 Apr 21  1974 pkg-1.9.4_1-1cee9ebad1.txz

Shouldn't one of the divers package tools be cleaning them out, or is that 
a separate task?
