I believe there is a patch for portmaster at https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng/tree/master/ports I havent tried this just yet, planning to today though.
I'm busy trying out pkg too. I have a repo online using poudriere and like it very much, so far my only real issue has been that when I changed repo from mine back to pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org I had to force an update (pkg update -f) I imagine due to the timestamp being older on the repo I am trying to change to. Not much of a problem as I consider using custom repos a more advanced usage and it just force me to read the manual again :) moving back the other way worked fine, while trying to use multirepo didnt work at all (but does say its experimental and dont expect it to work.) A built in equivalent to portmasters -o option (replace the installed port with a port from a different origin) would be nice as currently all my perl modules are listed as having a missing dependency since I forced an upgrade from perl5.12 to perl5.14 but then that's not in our current pkg tools so using portmaster or similar for this is reasonable enough.
