It should be fairly simple to generate such a list. You can generate
a list of all regular files that are owned by an installed package
with something like:
cd /var/db/pkg; find . -name CONTENTS -exec cat {} \; | grep ^obj |
awk '{print $2}' | sort
And then a list of all regular files on your system with:
find / -type f | grep -v -e "^/home" -e "^/tmp" -e "^/var/db" -e
"^/var/tmp" | sort
Then you just have to diff the two lists to find things that are not
owned by a package...
