Are the packages build by yourself and if yes with which pkg version?

In case packages where build with pkg 1.3.7 there is a way back.

$ cp -R /var/db/pkg /var/db/pkg.save
$ mkdir backdir && cd backdir
$ cp /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static pkg-static-$pkgver
$ ./pkg-static-$pkgver delete -f pkg

Transfer pkg-static from 1.3.7 to the system and read 'man pkg-backup'

$ ./pkg-static-1.3.7 backup -r src_file

where src_file is one of the backups stored as as /var/backups/pkgdb.bak.tbz(.num)
