From a user standpoint, it is confusing that running the command gets different results the second time it is run vs. the first time. I can imagine a user saying "I ran pkg, but it didn't do what they said it would.  Now I run it again, and it does do what it is supposed to." Also, it would enable setting up a pkg-bootstrap man page separate from the pkg man page, without confusion about which one you're looking at.

Yes please.

Every time in the past that we have talked about moving the pkg_* tools
to the ports the corresponding change for the base was to have a
pkg_bootstrap tool that was a use once and forget kind of thing. I was
quite surprised when sbin/pkg was added, but since people tell me I
already comment on too much, I decided to wait and see what others thought.
