'pkg version' priorities changed between repository catalogue, ports
index and generating the info out of the ports tree directly.  Now if
you have an INDEX file, pkg version will read that for preference, as
it's only about a zillion times faster than what it used to do, which
involves running make(1) in a bunch of ports.

If you want the old behaviour either delete the INDEX file or use the -P
flag.

	Cheers,
