message at the end of a pkg install

When I use the pkg command to install a package, right before the pkg
command returns me to the command line, a message is printed to the
screen. The message reads as if it is a message from the port
maintainer to me, informing me of the next steps I need to do, e.g.,
adding mumble_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf.
Usually I copy and paste that message to a file until I have the
application running correctly. However, this time I neglected to do
so, and some information has now scrolled off into
never-come-back-from land.
I tried the command
pkg info pkgname
But that just gave me metadata on the pkg.
I also looked around in the var directory for the information, but
didn't find anything.
So my question is: how can I view that important message from the
port maintainer to me after it scrolls off the screen, is it
persistent anywhere?
Thanks.
