The port I was trying to install was lang/v8 (3.18.5). I don't see anything
in the Makefile that says it needs a particular version of pkg, but maybe
it's hidden somewhere else. Either way, something seems broken or not well
thought out. This is an up-to-date 10.0 system with a very vanilla
configuration.
