Ibiblio changed it's url, right.

Now you have forgotten to add the distribution you want to use, note
that you used "current" earlier. If you add current to the new ibiblio
url it will work just fine.

mirror=http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/opencsw/current

This is mentioned in pkgutil.conf:

# Mirror to use for downloads
# See http://www.opencsw.org/mirrors for alternative mirrors.
# NOTE: remember to include distribution (e.g. testing) at the end of the url.
# NOTE: you can have multiple mirrors by defining multiple mirror lines.
# Default: http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing
#mirror=http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing
