Not related to macppc, but pkgsrc is undergoing a transition from
/var/db/pkg to /usr/pkg/pkgdb.  It is possible you are in an
intermediate state about this.   I would advise, in addition to what
Martin said about posting errors:

  Make sure you have pgksrc 2020Q3, or pkgsrc current.   Not pkgsrc from
  early December.

  If you have updated along nebsd-9 and have the new pkg_install, make
  sure you have the latest version.  Include "/usr/sbin/pkg_add -V" and
  "/usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_add -V" output in your report.

  If reasonable, hang on a few days as a script to check/fix and better
  instructions are about to appear.
