The output from `pkg_info -V` is '20051122'. The audit-packages
configuration is in /usr/pkg/etc/audit-packages.conf and has nothing
but comments, but this comment suggests the pkg-vulnerabilitiews file
is in the correct place:

# PKGVULNDIR

# Specifies the directory containing the pkg-vulnerabilities file.
# Default: PKGVULNDIR="${DISTDIR}"
