Port upgrade: dead in the water

[Greg 'groggy' Lehey]

After years I have finally got round to upgrading my main computer.
My intention is to upgrade the ports as well, but pkg doesn't want to
play nice:

  # pkg-static install -f pkg
  pkg-static: Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected.  Running "pkg-static install -f pkg" recommended
  Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
  pkg-static: repository meta /var/db/pkg/FreeBSD.meta has wrong version 2
  pkg-static: Repository FreeBSD load error: meta cannot be loaded No error: 0
  Fetching meta.txz: 100%    916 B   0.9kB/s    00:01
  pkg-static: repository meta /var/db/pkg/FreeBSD.meta has wrong version 2
  repository FreeBSD has no meta file, using default settings
  Fetching packagesite.txz: 100%    6 MiB 582.8kB/s    00:11
  pkg-static: repository meta /var/db/pkg/FreeBSD.meta has wrong version 2
  pkg-static: Repository FreeBSD load error: meta cannot be loaded No error: 0
  Unable to open created repository FreeBSD
  Unable to update repository FreeBSD
  Error updating repositories!

I'm happy to blow everything away, but is there a way to extract
something that pkg can use to determine which packages to install?
