Depends on your definition of "up to date".  If you only care about
the version then just compare PKGNAME vs the .tgz.

However, if you care about it being up to date compared to whether its
dependencies have been rebuilt and/or whether files have been touched
without the version being changed, then you could start with the pbulk
script that performs those checks:

  pkgsrc/pkgtools/pbulk/files/pbulk/scripts/pkg-up-to-date

That only tests files that have $NetBSD$ tags, so if you have dropped
something in FILESDIR that isn't in CVS you'll need to expand the
script a bit further.
