I'm sure there's probably a more elegant way to do this, but what about 
looking through the +CONTENTS files in /var/db/pkg/*?  Something like this:

hornet:bmah% cd /var/db/pkg
hornet:pkg% grep tclsh */+CONTENTS
tcl-7.6/+CONTENTS:bin/tclsh7.6
tcl-7.6/+CONTENTS:man/man1/tclsh.1.gz
tcl-8.0.2/+CONTENTS:bin/tclsh8.0
tcl-8.0.2/+CONTENTS:man/man1/tclsh.1.gz

(It looks to be kind of hard to find where a file *in a particular directory* 
came from, due to the syntax of the +CONTENTS files.)
