I see the same thing, but only after updating the system (not ports) to
main-n276966-46adaf3642cf: Fri May  2 21:35:20 PDT. rebuilding the port
made no difference. It looks like the issue is in the base system, not
port, or the interaction between /usr/sbin/ports.

As a workaround, I will also mention that the error messages do not appear
if I directly run /usr/local/sbin/pkg. By aliasing pkg to
/usr/local/sbin/pkg, the issue disappears.
