As an example on a Linux system:

# pkg_info -N checkperms
Information for checkperms-1.10:

Built using:
digest-20080510
tnftp-20070806


Technically it was also build using:
bmake-20090909
bootstrap-mk-files-20090807
pkg_install-20091015

But these don't show up as they are part of the bootstrap-kit.
