grep your pkg-get.conf file for sunfreeware.  It should not be there.

I just added 
'url=http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/blastwave.org/unstable' to 
end of the list of mirrors in my pkg-get.conf file on Solaris 10 and did 
`pkg-get -U`.  I got the catalog and description files and they look 
fine.  sunfreeware.com is a different site from www.blastwave.org.

You want the desired mirror to be the last one listed that is 
uncommented or just comment all but the desired mirror.

I attached the output of `pkg-get -U` as a text file.

Maybe you have multiple pkg-get.conf files?  Check in opt/csw/etc or 
/etc/opt/csw and maybe /etc.
