Does this provide something that pkg version -t (described in Example 5.1. Using pkg-version(8) to Compare Versions in the PH) does not?

I'm not sure, actually. It's a dependency for vcflib and possibly other github/ekg tools. I'd rather not try to hack dependent ports to use a pkg command as I'd have to verify that it behaves exactly the same as this tool every time either one is updated.

Ah, ok. Lgtm.
