Thanks, Matthew.

pkg query against the .txz file in the cache appears to work though, as 
does pkg info against the installed package:
---------------------------------------------------------------
$ pwd
/var/cache/pkg
$ sudo pkg query -F gcc-4.6.4.20121123.txz %sh
567 MB
$ pkg info -s gcc
gcc-4.6.4.20121123 size is: 567 MB
$
---------------------------------------------------------------
