pkg_* tools don't exist on 10.x only pkgng... that makes it base os thing.. even if it's downloaded in/via ports.. So sorry don't claim it's only part of the ports system, because whilst it maybe built and administered there, the tools it replaced were removed from the base OS at the very beginning of 10.x...
