Hi Kevin,
Check pkg(8) - The database is located in /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite
according the manpage (and mine exists.)

Thanks to all of you for suggestions. DES, you hit the jackpot.
Since there is no man page for the pkg backup command, I was unaware
of the -f option, though I should have, at least, thought to try .
As it turned out, I did not need to restore the the db. Just get pkg
reinstalled.
I am still confused as to the sqlite DB that I know I have looked at
in the past. I thought that it was in /var/db/pkg, but it is not
there... just distfiles. I figure that the database has to be somewhere.
