There is no particularly good reason to keep pkg_tools around once
you've made the switch to pkgng. pkgng should provide replacements for
all the pkg_tool functionality and slot into its place quite smoothly.
However, I'm not sure that there's been adequate testing on a
pkg_tools-free setup, so it is not entirely outside the bounds of
possibility that you might run into some odd problems. If you do,
please report what happens, as that's definitely a bug that needs fixing.
Cheers,
Matthew
