You can't mix both pkgng and pkg_install, and looking at your /var/db/pkg, you
have mixed it for a while and you now have both the pkgng version and the
pkg_install version half migrated to pkgconf and inconsistent.

As I don't the the manipulation you have exactly done, and the exact state of
your system, it is hard for me to tell you how to recover.

In any case this as nothing to do with portmaster.
if you decide to fully go the pkgng way what I do suggest is:

remove all the directories from /var/db/pkg (keeping only the local.sqlite file)
then run 

echo "delete from deps where origin='devel/pkg-config'; update deps set origin='devel/pkgconf', name='pkgconf', version='0.8.4' where origin='devel/pkg-config';" | pkg shell

I tested with your database this seems to work.

after that you can upgrade safely everything.

Remember, do not mix pkg_install and pkgng, if you decide to go pkgng this is a
one shot migration.
