I installed pkg:/crypto/gnupg at 2.0.13-0.151, and to my surprise, there was no 'gpg' executable.  The executable that's installed is gpg2 (in /usr/bin).

Sadly, there are many utilities (including git) that assume that gpg is called gpg, and they fail in all sort of weird ways.  For example,

$ git tag -u C7958FFE foo
fatal: exec gpg failed.
error: gpg failed to sign the tag
fatal: unable to sign the tag
