yea the directions on the wiki are correct - i had an empty newline in
my old pkg.conf config that was breaking things.  fwiw this is what my
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/nomadlogic.conf looks like:

nomadlogic: {
        url: "pkg+http://pkg.nomadlogic.org/92amd64-default",
        mirror_type: "srv",
        enabled: yes
}

I'm going to try to figure out what mirror_type: "srv" stands for since
I was mistakenly(?) assuming that was for SRV dns records.  i do not
have a SRV record for this host/service but things are working a-ok so far.

cheers,
