Do you know where pbulk does this?  I can't find where it uses
pkg_info -N.

I just committed this change.  Native tools (as in, e.g., TOOL_AWK as
/usr/bin/awk) aren't listed here in any way unless they carry package
dependencies, so I think the risk for native builds is low.  If it
breaks anything, let me know and I can back it out and spend more time
to think about it.

Otherwise, I think we should pull this change up to 2023Q3 even though
it touches mk/.

Sorry for the oversight!
