For some reason, my copy of pkg-1.1 was unable to do anything since
packages were updated to pkg-1.2 versions

I had to reinstall pkg from dports first:
  cd /usr/dports/ports-mgmt
  make clean
  make deinstall
  make install

pkg-1.2 disables all repos by default; you'll have to move some files
in /usr/local/etc/pkg to enable one of them again
