more appropriate would be...

  #  - w/ -x pkg_info(1) option, a pattern (instead of complete
  #    name) can be specifed
  #
  #  - the more important addition is of egrep(1) to remove unwanted
  #    output of pkg_info(1); otherwise ls(1) would complain for
  #    obvious reasons
  #
  pkg_info -L -x <pattern> | \
  egrep -v '^(Info.*:|Files|$)' |  xargs ls -l >/dev/null
