Heya!

man pkg_info shows:

     -S      Show the size of this package and all the packages it requires,
             in bytes.

     -s      Show the size of this package in bytes. The size is calculated by
             adding up the size of each file of the package.

So like pkg_info -S ogle

I haven't tried it.
