 Yes, I saw those patches.

 That packages has the correct path:
 
 tron@colwyn:/usr/pkgsrc/textproc/xmlcatmgr>strings /usr/pkg/bin/xmlcatmgr|grep etc
 ungetc
 fgetc
 /etc/pkg/xml/catalog
 /etc/pkg/sgml/catalog

 tron@colwyn:/usr/pkgsrc/textproc/libxml2>make show-vars VARNAMES="PKG_SYSCONFDIR.xmlcatmgr SGML_DEFAULT_CATALOG XML_DEFAULT_CATALOG PKG_SYSCONFBASEDIR"
 
 /etc/pkg/sgml/catalog
 /etc/pkg/xml/catalog
 /etc/pkg
 
 And the binaries look fine, too:
 
 tron@colwyn:/usr/pkgsrc/textproc/libxml2>make list | grep ^/usr/pkg/lib | xargs strings | grep etc
 [...]
 file:///etc/pkg/xml/catalog
 [...]
 file:///etc/pkg/xml/catalog
 [...]
 
 	Kind regards
