It's because utimensat(2) is a new syscall in 10.3-RELEASE and above,
and as pkg(8) is now being built on 10.3-RELEASE (as that's the lowest
supported 10.x RELEASE since the beginning of the month) it now tries to
use that syscall.

Means 10.1 and 10.2 users of the standard FreeBSD packages are going to
be unhappy until they can upgrade to 10.3.  A work around is to use
pkg-static, but that's not completely foolproof either as any other
packaged software could use utimensat(2) and suffer from the same problem.
