For me that comes up blank since I move the packages to another
directory for archiving.

You might try cd /Library/Receipts/ in Terminal. Then burrow down
to the Archive.bom of the package in question. (Just keep using
cd til you get to a list of files.) Looking at it with lsbom
gives you a list of files installed from that package.

For example for SecUpd2008-005PPC.pkg

[ppp36:/Library/Receipts/SecUpd2008-005PPC.pkg/Contents] fred% ls
total 1800
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 909222 Jul 31 2008 Archive.bom
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin 2319 Dec 22 2008 Info.plist
drwxrwxr-x 31 root admin 1054 Dec 22 2008 Resources
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin 3245 Jul 31 2008
SecUpd2008-005PPC.dist
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin 415 Jul 26 2008 version.plist

[ppp36:Receipts/SecUpd2008-005PPC.pkg/Contents] fred% lsbom
