That's a good call, but the OP would want to look at the repository
config file rather than the global pkg.conf

That's either /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf or /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/*.conf
-- the first is the stock config file which people frequently edit to
switch from the quarterly package set to the latest set, wheras the
second could be present as an overlay to achieve the same effect.  UCL
(which is what pkg.conf is written in) has a design feature to merge
content from several different configuration files which is at once
pretty confusing and incredibly powerful.

	Cheers,
