For the record, I was having the same problem, since upgrading from
4.6-PRERELEASE to 4.8-STABLE yesterday.  This is despite having an
up-to-date pkg_info that supports -O.

Investigation revealed...

$ /usr/sbin/pkg_info -q -O archivers/unarj
pkg_info: package 8hz-mp3-0.2b has no origin recorded
pkg_info: /var/db/pkg/Mesa-3.0b6/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory

An rm -rf /var/db/pkg/Mesa-3.0b6 "fixed" the problem, and ports now
install normally.
