Just paste Gaetans two lines into a file:
	. `pwd`/PKGBUILD
	echo $pkgver
Save it in a directory which is in your PATH variable and make it
executeable.
If you mean with file an archive from AUR, then you have to untar it first:
	tar -xzf `pwd`/$1.tar.gz
	cd `pwd`/$1
	. `pwd`/PKGBUILD
	echo $pkgver
	# Clean up
	cd ..
	rm -r $1
You must call this script with the package name obtained, e.g.
	pkgver dccnightmare
