Well, you took the -current pkgsrc.tgz. Recently, some .mk files were
changed, and it's now impossible to make anything without an updated
pkgtools/pkg_install (the modified .mk runs pkg_info with the -K flag,
which is a new feature only available with the new pkg_install package).

There are a few solutions. One of them (which i use) is to:

 - fetch a release tree of pkgsrc (say the 1.6 release one)
 - fetch the current pkgsrc tree
 - copy pkgtools/pkg_install of the current tree to the release tree
 - go into /usr/pkgsrc-release/pkgtools/pkg_install and make install (this
   will work since it will use the .mk files of the release-pkgsrc)
 - rm -rf /usr/pkgsrc-release :)
 - continue to use your current pkgsrc, /usr/pkgsrc

Yeah that's lame. The reason of the modification and a fix was surely
explained in tech-pkg@, but i didn't check.

Hope it helps, temporarly.
