  These are not OpenPGP keys, but x.509 certificates (and that is a list
of Certification Authorities. I identify CAcert among them).

   Somehow you entered into the PKI certificate manager, instead of your
OpenPGP keyrings. Since I have never used GPG2 or FreeBSD, I can't tell
you how to go to your keyring instead.

  Beware, if you delete the certificate of a CA from your list of
trusted CAs, next time you go to a site using a certificate issued by
the CA will show a scary warning. (I mean, if you go to an URL starting
with https://).

  Probably they come pre-loaded with your operating system. I repeat,
these are not GPG keys, but the kind of certificates used for SSL.

  Best Regards
