You can easily create an alias for this:
pkg query -e '%o = base' %n
If you want something closer to `pkg info`, try:
pkg query -e '%o = base' '%n-%v %c' | column -tl 2

There already is:
% sudo pkg delete FreeBSD-clibs
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
The following package(s) are locked or vital and may not be removed:
FreeBSD-clibs
1 packages requested for removal: 1 locked, 0 missing
The only matter that remains to be settled is which packages should be
marked vital:
% pkg query -e '%V = 1' %n
FreeBSD-clibs
FreeBSD-runtime
