Yep, 'pkg install -n' and 'pkg image-update -n' would be good candidates
for real-world pkg operations: the -n flags tells those subcommands not
to perform any modifications on the system.
Alternatively, you could operate on user-images or boot environment
clones using 'pkg -R <location>' which would only make changes to those
images, which you could then torch after the operation has completed.
cheers,
