No, this isn't necessarily correct.  I have never modified this file,
but I ended up with a copy of /usr/src/usr.bin/pkg/FreeBSD.conf.latest
with this revision string:

  # $FreeBSD: stable/11/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf 263937 2014-03-30 15:24:17Z bdrewery $

Despite the age, this appears to identical to the current version,
according to svn blame.  Arguably this should be the default anyway.
