Other people have covered this well so far, but here's details on the
pkg_install issue:

pkg_install recently had a version check introduced between the release of
2.6.3 and the most recent quarterly release of pkgsrc; it fails on that.

The pkgsrc howto page, which I think may already have been linked, is a
good resource for now:
