Download the repo catalogue by setting up your pkg.conf appropriately
then running:

   pkg update

Then you can use tools like 'pkg search' or 'pkg rquery' to investigate
the available packages. (The first of those commands is more aimed at
human readable output, the second for scripting usage.)

	Cheers,
