Hi James,

FreeBSD started doing "quarterly" ports-releases, and pkg per default
uses these. Have a look at /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf.

These ports-branches only receive security-fixes and will not change
otherwise for 3 months.

You are probably have a HEAD /usr/ports checkout, not the 2017Q2-branch
pkg is using. To checkout the 2017Q2-branch to /usr/ports, you could
use:

# svn checkout https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/branches/2017Q2/ /usr/ports

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Frank
