In this case, a new "layer" would be needed that dumps
DB query results to text files. It shouldn't be hard
to implement those.

Well, pkg itself also is. :-)

Maybe in the future we will see parts of the new package
installation infrastructure and source maintenance tools
become part of the base system. Luckily the current ports
for those functionalities don't pull in thousands of
dependencies, so in my opinion the current approach of
having "stubs" in the OS and the "real" programs in ports
is acceptable (of course with the option of having them
available in the "offline" installation media as well,
comparable to how documentation is handled today).
