That is not possible. The pkg_* tools have been obsoleted
in FreeBSD 9, and they aren't available anymore for newer
releases due to infrastructure changes of the ports subsystem.

But the new pkg has an equivalent: "pkg info". See "man pkg"
and especially "man pkg-info" for details, was well as:

And for the relationship with the ports collection:
