I have the same problem as you.  It doesn't seem to depend on anything
and nothing depends on it.  I can delete it, but it always comes back
the next time I install anything.  I have a 12.2-RELEASE-p3 amd64 system
and pkg is standard, except that I modified the config file to enable
plugins for pkg-provides.  I had the same problem before I added
pkg-provides, so I don't think that is the cause.  I would love to get
rid of it, but it isn't worth deleting it every time I add or upgrade a
package.
