pkg search -r /usr/bin/hg would have worked as well. Note that to find things not installed on your system, you have to specify the -r flag to search and info (list takes -a, but -as seems to have problems, and takes a long, long time, even with the recent speed improvements to list). Search will return both full pathnames and basenames.
