First thing I would check that the file

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

exists and has something like


   FreeBSD: {
     url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
     mirror_type: "srv",
     signature_type: "fingerprints",
     fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
     enabled: yes
   }


in it.
