You can use zsh, which has pkg completion for the pkg_* commands:

devel ~ % sudo pkg_delete <tab>
devel ~ % sudo pkg_delete ImageMagick-5.2.9
Completing package name
ATI-4.2.0.15             jdk-blackdown-1.2pre2    pth-1.4.1              
ImageMagick-5.2.9        jpeg-6b                  python-2.1.3           
Xaw3d-1.5                jpilot-0.99.2            python-2.2.1           
aalib-1.2                kde-i18n-de-3.0.3        python-tkinter-2.2.1   
[...]

(note that for me it's <tab> but the completion key is configurable.)

Some may find zsh broken but it has some valuable features.
