Something I've felt in need of for a long time, and suggested from time to time 
in the past.

What we need is a pkg command which returns the revision number of the 
ports tree which was used to build the current repository. When provided with 
that information I could run "svnlite up -q -r $REV $PORTSDIR" to keep my ports 
and packages in sync.
