In 10.x and later, there is a /etc/pkg/freebsd.conf that contains the
default package site, and the format of pkg.conf changed

If you get the bootstrapped version of pkg on 9 that is still pkg 1.1.4
or whatever, it installs a pkg.conf that is the 'old' format
Upgrading to pkg 1.2 may cause extra warnings. If removing
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf makes them go away, then that was the problem.
