I ran the base gpart, so not sure if it works, but I suppose it could, just
not on my system.

gpart (the port, not the base geom tool) doesn't work that way, you're
still confusing the two. sysutils/gpart is a tool for rebuilding broken
partitions, so the parameter you're looking for is a device name, not
"show" (what the error message basically told you).
gpart in sysutils/gpart stands for 'guess partitions'. Its an old, but
very useful tool for repairing partitions. Unfortunately it does not
work on amd64.
If someone is willing to update the port: I have an original tarball
'gpart-0.1h.tar.gz'. It would need a new home ;-)
#cat pkg-descr
