It has been fixed today. New pkgsrc will work with old tools.

See pkgsrc/mk: bsd.prefs.mk revision 1.151:

 Log Message:
 Don't use the new pkg_info options unless the the pkg_install tools are
 new enough to support them.  pkgsrc requires updated pkg_install for
 older NetBSD releases and will ask the user to install them as the first
 step to using pkgsrc, but the error messages about pkg_info not supporting
 the "-K" option were confusing.
