Ah. Not quite but thanks for telling me the location of the pkg 
directory (btw, it's var/db/

I've now worked out how to get what I want via :

cd /var/db/pkg
for i in *
do
MATCHES=`grep -c $i /usr/ports/INDEX-6`
if [ $MATCHES -gt 0 ]
then
  #echo "Pattern $i Matched $MATCHES times"
else
  echo "Pattern $i not matched"
fi
done

In my case I was looking for files that weren't at the same revision 
level as the ports tree but both options are accounted for.

Thanks all.
