The command-line installer does not seem to have any such
capability. The easiest way to do this is to install the graphical
installer. Its screen display lists the installed version of the
various packages; For uninstalled components, the installed
version displays as a blank cell in the display.

It has been quite some time, but before the graphical 
installer was released, someone put up on this mailing
list a script which would list installed components. The
installer has changed since then, and I have no idea as
to whether the script will still work. Finding it may be a
bit of a chore.
