I looked in /var/db and there is not dir/file named backup. There is a
dir
named pkg.bak but it is empty.

My /var/db/pkg has become corrupt, and I can't find an archive of it

Are you using PKGng or the old pkg_* tools?
Meaning, is your data stored as individual files under
/var/db/pkg/PORTNAME/*, or as a single sqlite database under
/var/db/pkg?
If using PKGng, there's a backup copy under /var/db/backup*
If using the older pkg_* tools, you're screwed. :)
