How?

% pkg info | grep gcc
gcc-4.6.4                   GNU Compiler Collection 4.6
makedep-1.0.2_1             Create dependencies in makefiles using 'gcc -M'
% pkg query -F gcc-4.6.4 %t
pkg: archive_read_open_filename(gcc-4.6.4): Failed to open 'gcc-4.6.4'
% pkg query %t gcc-4.6.4
1387742889

Is that seconds since the epoch?  If yes, if may be prudent to add a
%T format, so one can easily determine that 1387742889 is Sun Dec 22
23:20:51 2013.
