Thanks to everyone involved. I've been lightly testing pkg for a little while, but I still mainly use ports. This announcement prompted me to switch from portupgrade to portupgrade-devel (20120827 version) to see how it works with PKGNG. I encountered a couple issues:
Portupgrade doesn't remove the pkgdb.db.lock reliably. Portupgrade doesn't handle stale lock files (just waits indefinitely for a nonexistent process to finish). A big problem when combined with the above. Running "portupgrade pkg" failed. It stalled trying to unregister the package installation after the old pkg was removed. I didn't dig too deeply but it seems like a dependency chicken-and-egg problem. I was able to reinstall using /usr/sbin/pkg, and I also tested "make && make deinstall && make reinstall" of ports-mgmt/pkg successfully, so it may just be a portupgrade issue.
