All variables should be documented in pkg.conf(5) -- however, ALTABI is missing from that page, which is a bug. ALTABI is a compatibility thing -- way back when the ABI format was changed, ALTABI was added as a quick compatibility shim, so that people could access the old style of ABI easily and eg. plug it into repo.conf files. Ideally it should have been deprecated and removed after a decent interval, but has never happened. It would be worth documenting simply to warn people against using it...
