You have an old version of pkg there, and it looks like the pkg.conf
that came with that version doesn't point at a repository with any
useful contents.

Try:

    pkg upgrade

which /should/ get you pkg-1.1.4_1

Then check ${LOCALBASE}/etc/pkg.conf and make sure packagesite is set to:=


   http://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest

or there are some other publicly availble repos: Exonetric has one, as
does PC-BSD.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
