gpgconf on FreeBSD-8.2

I am not sure if there is even a problem here, so please bear with me.

First, I have gpg2 installed on my system:

gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.18
libgcrypt 1.5.0
Home: ~/.gnupg

Now, when I run gpgconf, I receive this error:

$ gpgconf --check-config           
gpgconf: can not open global config file `/usr/local/etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf': No such file or directory

There is no gpgconf.conf file on a FreeBSD system. Therefore, I give
the command the address to my gpg.conf file:

gpgconf --check-config ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

which produces this output:

gpgconf: missing component at `/home/gerard/.gnupg/gpg.conf', line 59
gpgconf: unknown component at `/home/gerard/.gnupg/gpg.conf', line 69
gpgconf: missing option at `/home/gerard/.gnupg/gpg.conf', line 69

gpgconf: missing option at `/home/gerard/.gnupg/gpg.conf', line 213
gpgconf: missing component at `/home/gerard/.gnupg/gpg.conf', line 214

I am not sure exactly what is wrong with the lines indicated.

The following is the file truncated as much as possible.

Line 59: require-cross-certification

Line 69: charset utf-8

Line 166: keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve

Line 205: default-key  A14359AB219555DDC70CC277C0B4548708208E42
Line 206: use-agent

###+++--- GPGConf ---+++###
Line 209: utf8-strings
Line 210: auto-key-locate local
Line 211: auto-key-locate keyserver

Line 213: keyserver  hkp://wwwkeys.us.pgp.net
Line 214: verbose
###+++--- GPGConf ---+++### Wed Oct 19 09:56:39 2011 EDT
# GPGConf edited this configuration file.
# It will disable options before this marked block, but it will
# never change anything below these lines.

Everything seems to be working correctly so I am not sure why I am
receiving these error messages when I run gpgconf.
