You seem to have been bitten by FLAVORS. Is pkg(8) up-to-date? I got this
type of error as I managed  to update PORTDIR after the FLAVORS commit, but
before pkg was updated properly to deal with it.

After updating /usr/portds/ports-mgmt/pkg and re-building it, those errors
vanished and things started working fairly well again.

NOTE: There is at least one bug that has not bitten me but has gotten a
couple of people that has a proposed patch under review at this time. I
don't think this is what caused your error, but I'm mot at all sure.
