First, to clarify - do you have pkgng installed on your FreeBSD box?
That is, should you be using /usr/sbin/pkg instead of
/usr/local/bin/pkg_info if you are doing local package management?
If so, the current freebsd provider is not likely to work well for you,
as it's pretty tied into the old framework. There's a new pkgng provider
for freebsd+puppet available at https://github.com/xaque208/puppet-pkgng
that might be worth trying.
Second, to debug you can try changing
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/ports.rb (or
equivalent, on FreeBSD that could all be under
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0/puppet/provider/package/ports.rb or
elsewhere) line 19 from
cmd = %w{-N -M BATCH=yes} << @resource[:name]
to
cmd = %w{-v -N -M BATCH=yes} << @resource[:name]
to turn on portupgrade's verbosity.
Third, no running Puppet on FreeBSD is not a bad idea. Lots of people
work pretty hard to make it work, but it unfortunately doesn't get the
exposure and attention that Linux does, and thus stuff might not be as
well tested.

I'm a first-time Puppet user, working with FreeBSD 9.2, Puppet 3.3.1,
and Ruby 2.0. I'm starting out with a very simple setup to test the
waters:
node 'myhost' {
package { 'devel/jsmin':
ensure => 'installed',
provider => 'ports'
}
}
When I run:
puppet apply -v --debug manifests/site.pp
I get a bunch of output with various Linuxisms like selinux, rpm,
apt-get, dpkg, etc (making me think I need to specify that this is a
FreeBSD host?), and then:
Debug: Prefetching ports resources for package
Debug: Executing '/usr/sbin/pkg_info -aoQ'
Debug: Executing '/usr/sbin/pkg_info -aoQ'
Debug: Executing '/usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -N -M BATCH=yes devel/jsmin'
It all looks good, except that the process seems to stall out here.
Running '/usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -N -M BATCH=yes devel/jsmin'
manually works fine and completes in a few seconds. I can see from the
`ps` listing that command is active, but it just sits there, not
completing.
I'm not sure how to debug this any further. Is it considered a bad
idea to run Puppet on a FreeBSD host? Based on my Google searches and
amount of discussion around it, it seems like there are very few
people who are doing this.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick
