What repositories are you using?  Please show us the result of:

pkg -vv | sed -ne '/Repositories/,$p'

I'd hazard a guess that the repository either had a bit of a flail when
creating the catalogue, or it's running some ancient version of pkg.

"mapping values are not allowed in this context" is an error message
from libyaml, so you've got a +MANIFEST file (or the partial copy of it
that gets incorporated into the repository catalogue) which it thinks
contains a mapping ( a sequence of key : value pairs ) when the YAML
parser was expecting an array or whatever.
