There's no need to label your custom repo as 'FreeBSD' -- in fact, it's
probably better for you to use a distinct name, as the repo.conf files
accumulate for the same repo tag.  In this case you've possibly
inadvertently got pkg checking the pkg signatures against the default
FreeBSD repository keys, which isn't going to work for locally built
packages.

Just change the tag in the repo.conf to 'myrepo' and then check what
pkg(8) sees overall by running 'pkg -vv'.  You'll need to do a pkg
upgrade -f after that.

If you don't want to use the standard FreeBSD repo at all then you can
add a /usr/local/etc/repos/FreeBSD.conf containing

FreeBSD: { enabled: no }

If changing the repo tag doesn't fix the problem, try turning on some
debugging output:

   env DEBUG_LEVEL=4 pkg update -f
