You can use "pkg_chk -g" to generate a pkgchk.conf in /usr/pkgsrc
containing a list of installed packages suitable to feed to pkg_chk
on the target machine as follows:

pkg_chk -C /usr/pkgsrc/pkgchk.conf -a

where /usr/pkgsrc/pkgchk.conf is the file generated on the source
machine, obviously.

pkg_chk itself is not part of the base system but can be found in
pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_chk.
