not exactly. it leaves old libraries around when they're needed by other
packages. this is documented in pkg_add(1)
4. Shared libraries deserve special treatment: each shared library from
the old packages that does no longer exist in the new packages, but
that is required from a wantlib of another package is kept along in
a stub package named .libs-<pkgname>.
I haven't found a mix of flags to list these .libs-* packages, but you
should be able to find them in /var/db/pkg
$ ls -d /var/db/pkg/.libs-*
usually, pkg_delete -a should get rid of them once they're not needed
anymore. (i.e. all the packages are successfully updated -- this
includes also packages built and installed locally.)

and sysclean -p too I believe.
