See the thread for more info:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20140619184515.GA35207@zibbi.meraka.csir.co.za

How-To-Repeat:
On an armeb machine, like the AVILA board, run:
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract
cd /usr/ports/*/gettext
make install

See output:
# make install
===>  Installing for gettext-0.18.3.1_1
===>  Checking if devel/gettext already installed
pkg-static: failed to find the version elf note
===>   Registering installation for gettext-0.18.3.1_1
pkg-static: failed to find the version elf note
pkg-static: failed to find the version elf note
Installing gettext-0.18.3.1_1...pkg-static: package field incomplete:
architecture
pkg-static: the package is not valid
pkg-static: sqlite: cannot rollback - no transaction is active
*** Error code 70

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/gettext
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/gettext

Fix:
change how pkg identifies which arch it is on so that it uses the same
method as other parts, like gdb, or the kernel..
