That's not actually correct.

```
% pkg info -D pkgname
```

will display the pkg-message for any package no matter how installed, or
if there's a ports tree present or not.

However, I agree in general with your position: pkg-message is something
that needs to be used sparingly, and not to endlessly repeat either
trivial or out-dated messages.  The new UCL formatting stuff is an
excellent improvement in that regard.
