I installed the port.  I don't know how often the packages are updated.

I don't understand how.  The Handbook mentions pkg.conf but does not 
show any entries for it, while the wiki shows a sample file.  Again, I 
believe the file changed, and it was the presence of the obsolete 
version that caused the messages.  The current port only installs 
pkg.conf.sample.

Maybe it would help to be more specific: what needs to be changed in the 
Handbook version?  Without pkg.conf, the current version of pkg does not 
complain, so that seems okay.
