I'm not sure i understand your question completely. pkg_info tells you what is currently installed. What version are you running? I have a 3.5 box and a 3.6 box, still haven't loaded 3.7 yet :(, and the command find /usr/ports/ -type d -name ethereal finds /usr/ports/net/ethereal on the 3.5 box but not on the 3.6 box. -- There's an art to planning your day.
