If I do a pkg info on an old package name (e.g SUNWloc) should it return info if text/locale is installed. In other words should pkg be smart enough to follow the rename?

It will "follow" the rename, so to speak.  However pkg(5) also is
agressive about removing packages that have been renamed and which are
no longer dependencies for any other packages.

You can supply "-r" as an option to "info" to do a remote query and
that will report the relationship between the old and new packages.
