-I isn't new for 'pkg version' -- that existed for a long time in
pkg_version. It is much faster now, certainly. An SQL query to pull
data out of local.sqlite is intrinsically quicker than scanning a whole
sub-tree of directories and files in the old /var/db/pkg format.
What's new with 'pkg version' is the -R option -- which compares
installed packages with what is available in the package repositories
pkg(8) is configured to use. That pre-supposes you're using a
repository of precompiled packages of course, which the OP clearly isn't
given their use of portmaster(8).
Cheers,
Matthew
