There's obviously some fucked up stuff in /var/db/pkg. Have a look under the lost+found directory of the partition that holds /var/db/pkg, I strongly suspect it's not empty. Why do people always tell us the NOT IMPORTANT stuff ? In the current case, it is fairly obvious your file system crashed at some point. A panic, lost power somewhen ? Well, there is inconsistent information in there. Garbage in, garbage out, don't expect pkg_add to make sense of it. Run pkg_check, figure out the extent of your fsck damage...
