I just see that this is actually OK - file(1)'s database on 1.3.x just
doesn't recognize DB files as such.

Well you can try to query the pkgdb in some way or other:
pkg_info -F <- dump the whole pkgdb
pkg_info -Fe /usr/pkg/bin/gtexinfo <- find out which package the
named file belongs to
pkg_info -FqL /usr/pkg/bin/gtexinfo <- get list of all files belonging
to /usr/pkg/bin/gtexinfo
