Taking nano as an example,

to list package contents, use

pkg_info -L nano-2.2.6

to query owner of a file,

pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/nano

The last one is easy, just run

pkg_info

Just remember that the systems are different, some things just won't have a translation. Learn how to use the FreeBSD system natively (just like they tell you when learning a foreign language: don't translate, think in it). – vonbrand Feb 16 at 14:41
