I could, of course, get a directory of /var/db/pkg, grep it for today's date, and sort things out that way. But that is getting into what I referred to as "doing it by hand", not using pkg_info.
/var/log/messages records which packages have been installed recently.

Code:
Aug 10 22:04:27 ponderosa pkg_delete: Removed mupen64plus-core-1.99.5
Aug 10 23:00:03 ponderosa pkg_add: Added mupen64plus-core-1.99.5
