Well, if you figure out what ports you have installed, you can regenerate the
pkgdb using:
make -DNO_BUILD -DNO_INSTALL generate-plist fake-pkg
for each port.
I just tested that using a temporary PKG_DBDIR. In case you wanna see what
happens, here's what I did:
mkdir -p /tmp/var/db/pkg
cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
env PKG_DBDIR=/tmp/var/db/pkg make -DNO_BUILD -DNO_INSTALL \
generate-plist fake-pkg
# ls /tmp/var/db/pkg/bash-3.2.25/
+COMMENT +DEINSTALL +INSTALL
+CONTENTS +DESC +MTREE_DIRS
It's missing +REQUIRED_BY and @pkgdep lines in +CONTENTS, but haven't been
able to figure out yet why that is.
I hope this gets you a bit closer.
