Hi!

It looks like you built packages using the tools build with 
LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg.
I don't know if this is supported, but I tried it a few years back and 
it never worked for me.

Building from scratch (i.e. bootstraping the tools with the proper 
LOCALBASE) though always worked:

    a@nl1mcl-506669:~$ uname -a
    Darwin nl1mcl-506669 17.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 17.7.0: Thu Dec 20 
21:47:19 PST 2018; root:xnu-4570.71.22~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
    a@nl1mcl-506669:~$ strings /pkg/bin/pkgin  | grep /usr/pkg
    <nothing>

    root@mmpos-server:/usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgin# uname -a
    Linux mmpos-server 4.4.0-42-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 
23:11:45 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    root@mmpos-server:/usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgin# strings /pkg/bin/pkgin 
 | grep /usr/pkg
    <nothing>

Btw, I personally always build with LOCALBASE=/pkg - that way it's the 
same on Mac, Linux & Dragonfly ;-).
