Hi,

I encountered similar problems when moving the build system of FreeNAS to use
poudriere for building ports.
You might want to check out:

https://github.com/freenas/freenas/blob/master/build/ports/install-ports.sh#L29

If you play with the PACKAGESITE environment variable,
and create the following files inside your jail:
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/local.conf

with entries like how I did in the install-ports.sh script, you can
suppress that
error message from /usr/sbin/pkg.
