what this is telling you is that those packages are not installed on your system. Search without the -r parameter only checks what's installed on the system. With the -r parameter it queries what's available in the network repository. Now, in the event that you have installed those packages (via blastwave) then pkg won't know about them since it doesn't keep track of svr4 style packages. Once blastwave converts to IPS (which I believe they are working on) then pkg should know about any packages installed from blastwave (because you'll likely have to use pkg to install them).
