Does

  mark_as_command ("pkg")
  pkg install -verbose io-1.0.5.tar.gz

work?

If so, you need to find out why this is not happening automatically.
Normally, there would be a PKG_ADD file in the same directory as the
pkg.m file that contains does the mark_as_command thing for pkg.  Did
your build and install finish properly?
