Thank you John,
I arrived at pkg.conf but I was not patient enough to land to 
/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf ;)

anyhow, my FreeBSD.conf has this:

FreeBSD: {
   url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
   mirror_type: "srv",
   signature_type: "fingerprints",
   fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
   enabled: yes
}

So the mistery of the missing but compilable packages is solved for me.

I was picking packages from "quarterly" but compiling
ports from a recently got ports tree, wich corresponds more closely to the
"latest" package directory.

I will look into "latest" before compiling the stuff myself next time.

Bye
Nicola
