Looking at the Oracle docs for pkg(1), I see you can do something 
similar to the following:

pkg install vim at 7.3.254,5.11-0.174

Or

pkg install vim at latest


And the [pkg update] command looks to accept the very same arguments.

For example:

pkg update vim at 7.3.254,5.11-0.174

Or

pkg update vim at latest

Although pkg update when issued without any arguments will update all 
installed packages to their latest available version.

See: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/E21802/gihhp.html

Hope that helps,
