Those come from makewhatis(8) (or to be more exact, the perl module
behind makewhatis which is called directly by pkg_add) - they're
unsightly but can be ignored. They are actually hidden in -current
unless you use pkg_add -vv (this is a very recent change, it
pre-dated your email by a couple of hours ;)

Side-note, pcredemo(3) is a *very* strange man page!

There's a split between programs/libraries which are part of the base
system, and those which come from packages. libssl, libz etc. are part
of the base system and live in /usr/lib, whereas libiconv, libintl etc.
are part of packages which live (mostly) in /usr/local/lib.

"pkg_info -f wget" shows the packing list for wget, which includes all
the files associated with that package (and various annotations; sha hashes,
file sizes, library dependencies, etc).

It's simpler that way - might be better to use a different base location
if there are things you need to install yourself from source - less chance
of accidentally interfering with files from packages that way. If you
use pkg_check(8) you'll find it complains about files under /usr/local
which aren't associated with a package.
