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
