It would probably work on earlier versions, but that hasn't been well tested. Basically, if you have /usr/sbin/pkg on your system (which is the shim that pulls in the real pkg(8)) then you're good to go. pkg(8) is default in 10.0 and will be default in all releases to come on all branches from now on. Given that the declared EoL of the old pkg_tools is due in September there's only one more release (9.3) that could possibly not have pkg(8) as default: however, my understanding is that there are no plans to provide any old-style packages with that relea= se.
