I've made a patch against pkgng HEAD, to add a -l option (just for pkg
search currently) to use the SQL LIKE operator.  This allows for case
insensitivity.  Perhaps it could just be default?

If you want to try it out, stick the following as patch-like.diff into
ports-mgmt/pkg/files (crude backport):

http://www.bayofrum.net/~crees/patches/pkgng-like-for-port.diff

It works for me;

[crees@pegasus]/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg% pkg search -l mailscanner
MailScanner-4.84.5_3           Powerful virus/spam scanning framework
