Do you even need a FreeBSD.conf file?  I think at one point that was in
the early adopters instructions, but I think the current state is that
pkg should work out of the box without needing any conf files.  Perhaps try 
renaming /usr/local/etc/pkg to /usr/local/etc/pkg.old and see if pkg works 
correctly.  (If not you can move pkg.old back.)
