In particular, it seems that pkg performs the chroot before it does any network lookups.  This is a problem if the chroot is not a complete system environment (which it cannot be when you're building an image for another system).

Sometimes the image does already have a resolv.conf, but if it does, it's for the target environment (where the image will ultimately be running) and may not be appropriate for the environment where the image is being built.
