Again, "pkg verify" will do just that, checking hashes with -f. We haven't forgotten to install the man pages along with everything else, have we? If Albert wants to perform such a test outside the pkg(5) framework, that's fine, but he'll need to be careful not to reimplement everything, and probably do the test based on a hardcoded set of data.
