I copied /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf from another 9.3 system that works:

sermons# pkg -vv
pkg: Invalid configuration format, ignoring the configuration file
version: 1.0.11
abi: freebsd:9:x86:64
db dir: /var/db/pkg
cache dir: /var/cache/pkg
ports dir: /usr/ports
Log into syslog: yes
Assume always yes: no
Repository: none


Removing /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf (original status):
sermons# pkg -vv
version: 1.0.11
abi: freebsd:9:x86:64
db dir: /var/db/pkg
cache dir: /var/cache/pkg
ports dir: /usr/ports
Log into syslog: yes
Assume always yes: no
Repository: none

sermons# pkg update
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: PACKAGESITE is not defined.


PACKAGESITE was defined in ~/.cshrc as:
setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/Latest/

That was removed for the above test.  It was present for the previously report pkg output.

As I remember this system was updated to 9.x when there were issues with the package system being rebuilt and a workaround was needed.  I no longer recall where all the pieces of that were.
