See pkg-repo(8), specifically the -l or --list-files option. If you just stick a few packages into a directory, you can run pkg-repo over them. This will generate a file filesite.txz which should be enough to show the format. Anything you come up with would certainly be of interest to the poudriere project (https://fossil.etoilebsd.net/poudriere/doc/trunk/doc/index.wiki), probably even more so than pkg(8) itself.
