That's deliberate. If pkg(8) had to install other packages as
dependencies of itself, it would make bootstrapping pkg on a new system
a bit difficult. So sqlite is bundled into the pkg source tree, along
with a few other external bits.
That pkg(8) uses sqlite is not exactly secret -- there's a whole man
page for pkg-shell(8) which talks about using the sqlite3 console, and
sqlite is clearly mentioned in pkg(8) and other man pages.
Cheers,
Matthew
