I ran into this problem as well.  I was only able to figure it out when
I tracked down install-info:

$ which install-info
/usr/local/bin/install-info
$ pkg_which install-info
texinfo-4.8_3
$ locate install-info
/usr/bin/install-info
=2E..
/usr/local/bin/install-info

There are two versions installed!  One is part of the base system
(/usr/bin/install-info) and the other was installed with the texinfo
port (/usr/local/bin/install-info).  I changed my $PATH long ago to put
/usr/local/bin in front of /usr/bin.  Because of this, the wrong
install-info was being used.  Changing $PATH back to the default or
uninstalling texinfo allowed me to install dirmngr (and other ports...).
