Of course.  pkg_version looks at the text files in /var/db/pkg, while 
pkg looks at the database local.sqlite in that directory.  The first 
step in using pkg is running pkg2ng, which imports the old information 
from the text files into the sqlite table.  After that, pkg_version 
should not be used.  It's getting information from an outdated database.
