pkg_locate uses a database populated with all files from ports
(installed packages or not).
locate uses a database populated with updatedb, and it contains only
files installed on filesystem (it is updated weekly).
so pkg_locate bsd.rd searchs if a file "bsd.rd" exists in some port
(installed or not); whereas locate bsd.rd searchs if a file "bsd.rd"
exists in current filesystem.
