On a new/fresh install, V10, should a person immediately place

In my experience it is unnecessary to add "WITH_PKGNG=yes" in a fresh
FreeBSD 10 box, and it is certainly not necessary to run pkg2ng since
there are no installed packages.
The pkg_* tools are not included in FreeBSD 10 and the pkg(ng) system is
the default.
this process is a little confusing.
do I still need to run "portsnap fetch" ?
If you build from ports and wish to continue using them, then yes,
continue to use portsnap or svn to update the ports tree.
Or does this need to be replaced with some other ng style update?
No. pkg is just a package manager. It does not replace ports, it just
handles packages. Like the old package manager, binary packages can be
downloaded and installed rather than ports, but the choice is yours.
