The MESSAGE source file(s) become the +DISPLAY file, which is displayed
with "pkg_info -D".

Aren't we still talking about all the other important "dynamic"
installation and configuration instructions that are displayed by the
REQUIRE and INSTALL script(s) (e.g. those displayed by the
pkgsrc/mk/install/* stuff)?

No, no, absolutely not.  It's easy enough to figure out all the
dependencies for a package and then display the +DISPLAY files for the
resulting list of packages with "pkg_info -D".
