Well, I was hoping to see some exotic exec construct that would confuse
pkg_delete, but no such luck.

This looks a bit suspicious, the quotes shouldn't really be there and it
actually installs something ending in "Source". However, it's probably
best to rule out the obvious:

if you have dir /var/db/pkg/Source/ does the +CONTENTS file in it look
sane? When in doubt, post it.
If you don't, any hits on:
grep '^@pkgdep Source' /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS
