Description 
setxkbmap by default hasn't defined the correct path to rules file (xorg) file:
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg
Please correct the path.
Work Around 
If you want to correctly set path to rules file (xorg), you can set it manually:
$setxkbmap -rules /usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg
(You will need to set it just once, because it will remember the path until you restart your server)

or you can add a symlink:
pfexec ln -s /usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/ /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb
