     PKGCHK_UPDATE_CONF
           Pathname to temporary list of installed packages used when updat-
           ing.  If not set in environment then read from /etc/mk.conf.
           Defaults to ${PKGSRCDIR}/pkgchk_update-$(hostname).conf.  Note, if
           pkgsrc is being shared across multiple machines which may be updat-
           ing at the same time then it is important this file does not over-
           lap between machines.

Try to set it outside of pkgsrc.
