Not that I consider an appropriate answer obvious, but
the file names as well as the content in the file? :
/etc/pkg/FreeBSD-ports.conf ?
I wasn't planning on changing the file name, no.
Why is then this file named “FreeBSD.conf” ?
Because it's the configuration file which describes pkg repositories provided
by the FreeBSD project?
