A pkg is what you get by compiling and installing a port. So even if you never download anything other than source code which you religiously compile yourself using the ports, your system will still end up full of pkgs. pkgng is not just about binary pkg distribution systems: it's also about managing the software installed on your system. It changes the package registry completely -- using sqlite, rather than a bunch of files and directories under /var/db/pkg -- and all the Makefile bits under /usr/ports/Mk that deal with registering new packages and so forth. This means that any software designed to interact with the ports tree will quite likely need to be modified to operate correctly in a pkgng-enabled system. portmaster is no exception, except that unlike most other ports-related software, the author of portmaster has not accepted patches for pkgng support to be incorporated directly into his code or into the portmaster port, so it is necessary to download and apply a patch from github separately: https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng/blob/master/ports/patch-portmaster-pkgng See the FAQ for instructions: https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng/blob/master/FAQ.md#15 With the patch applied you can used portmaster as usual and (almost) everything will work exactly as before. Some of the output will change, since pkgng produces different output while working compared to pkg_tools. Also pkgng-enabled portmaster doesn't support creating a cache of pre-compiled packages yet.
