After winning the fight with a couple of machines.

on the package build machine
- cd $package && rm repo.txz
- upgrade pkg on your Pd box to 1.2_1
- pkg repo (with the 1.2 version)

on the client:
- rm /var/db/repo* (and only this files!)

test a simple fetch from the client, in your case:
fetch http://db1.in.chaos1.de/92amd64-default/packagesite.txz
tail your webserver log if the file is found, else adjust the webserver config
or the packagesite.

For a quick jumpstart copy pkg-static (version 1.2) to the client and use this
binary so the pkg wrapper from the OS is not used.

I've wrote a small summary on githup maybe it helps others.

PS:
In case you see error messages like:
pkg: /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos//local.conf file is using a deprecated format. Please replace it with the following:
======...
and then your identical repo.conf ignore it for now only trust your web logs (I think the pkg team will fix this soon)
