Yes.  Interrupting pkg while it is processing a new catalog results in
an incomplete catalogue.

Probably this should roll-back to a known good state, or at least mark
the catalogue as still out of date so the next time pkg(8) gets run it
tries to update the catalogue again.

Until that gets implemented, the work around is to run 'pkg update -f'
In fact, that's generally the first thing you should try if pkg misbehaves.
