It now seems like the normal workflow for people who want to use "pkg" is:

- Hear about pkg
- Find the information in the Handbook at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html
- Install following those directions
- Get mysterious messages while following those directions
- Google the messages
- Discover https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng
- Make those changes
- Carry on

This seems kind of non-optimal. Can the Handbook be fixed to deal with the newer way 
"pkg" runs?

The mysterious messages were due to a a default configuration file which I think is not installed with the latest version of pkg. I switched a 9.2 system over to pkg a couple of days ago, and did what the Handbook says--really, just install pkg and run pkg2ng--and did not see those messages.
