pkg(8) will search all the directories on REPOS_PATH, which by default is

   /etc/pkg
   /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos

/etc/pkg is for the "official" FreeBSD.conf that comes with the base
system.  /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos is for general use.

No that's not needed.  'SHLIBS: yes' is the default now.  Verb. Sap. if
you don't want to override any of the default values you can do without
a pkg.conf entirely.  (pkg(8) complains about an empty pkg.conf at the
moment, which is a bug.)

	Cheers,
