Whatever the version of illumos it was built from.

Something like

mcs -p /usr/bin/awk

should give the illumos build the command matches.

# pkg search '\*/usr/bin/nawk'

Try

pkg search nawk

or

pkg search /usr/bin/nawk

(Basically, either the last component, or full pathname.)

That would be

pkg contents -o pkg.name,path -a path=usr/bin/nawk

(note, without the leading / this time)

That's because illumos has its own awk and nawk, rather than gawk.

(Unfortunately, the regular illumos awk - the one in /usr/bin/awk - is
pretty terrible, and best avoided.)
