 Ah. I've found it. pkgdb was not empty.
 
 This happens because of stupid bootstrap defaults. That is because
 'pkgdbdir' and 'varbase' are not relative to 'prefix' while 'mandir'
 and 'sysconfdir' are such.
 
 To fix this the following code 
 
         [ -z "$prefix" ] && prefix=/usr/pkg
         [ -z "$pkgdbdir" ] && pkgdbdir=/var/db/pkg
         [ -z "$varbase" ] && varbase=/var
 
 should be changed to 
 
         [ -z "$prefix" ] && {
            prefix=/usr/pkg
            [ -z "$pkgdbdir" ] && pkgdbdir=/var/db/pkg
            [ -z "$varbase" ] && varbase=/var
         }
 
         [ -z "$pkgdbdir" ] && pkgdbdir=$prefix/var/db/pkg
         [ -z "$varbase" ] && varbase=$prefix/var
 
 This patch keeps bootstrap mostly backward compatible.
