Not sure exactly what's broken, but you can usually recover by:
rm /var/db/pkg/repo-*.sqlite
and then use pkg as normal. It's safe to delete the repo sqlite files
as all the information in them comes from the repository catalogues and
can be regenerated from source as desired.
Failing that, there should be a nightly backup in
/var/backups/pkgdb.bak.tbz but that can be up to a day old, so be
prepared to redo any package updates from the day in order to resynch it
with what's on the filesystem.
Cheers,
Matthew
