valgrind is in pkgsrc, but no precompiled binary packages of it are
available.  Since pkgin only knows how to handle precompiled binary
packages, it can't help you with the installation.  Assuming you have
the pkgsrc tree on your system the simplest way of installing valgrind
is to compile it from source as follows:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/valgrind
make && make install

if that works, you can clean up all the intermediate files produced
during
the compilation with:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/valgrind
make clean cleandepends
