>Description:
pkg_upgrade from bsdadminscripts-6.1.1 does not work if /usr/ports is not 
present on the system.

# ./usr/local/sbin/pkg_upgrade -an
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports
fetch: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-release/INDEX: 
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

In my opinion it would be more user friendly if the script creates any 
directories that it needs (maybe prompt user for permission?) rather than just 
failing.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build FreeBSD system but don't install ports collection
pkg_add -r bsdadminscripts
./usr/local/sbin/pkg_upgrade -an
>Fix:
modify script to check if directories that it needs are present and create them 
if not.
