The file types are not new with pkgbase. They have long existed for pkg
for port-packages without pkgbase as well. The generation of such files
is just comparatively rare for port-packages.

The pkgbase configuration files lead to no contributions to /usr/local/
by pkg as far as I know. Those are from pkg being used for port-packages
instead.

I've no clue what your certificate criteria are for ssl and openssl. So
I've no clue if you might need a merge or not of those configuration
files --other than the dates going back to 2020 suggesting they are too
old to have the content be of interest.
/usr/local/sbin/pkg-static.pkgsave should just be an old 20023 version
of pkg-static from back in 2023. I'd be surprised if you need it.
