You can put the rest of these in your ~/mk.conf file:

In your own mk.conf also define PKG_TOOLS_BIN as appropriate. Then you
should not need to set that PREFIX.

You don't need to define PKG_ADMIN, if PKG_TOOLS_BIN is set in your
mk.conf to your ${HOME}/pkg/sbin/.

I don't know why.

Did is give you instructions to follow on how to install a newer
pkg_install?
