So I've bitten the bullet and am converting to the new pkg system. The notes for conversion indicate you must add "WITH_PKGNG=yes" to make.conf. Also done. On a new/fresh install, V10, should a person immediately place "WITH_PKGNG=yes" in the make.conf ? And then is it not required to run pkg2ng ? Or is it implied? It seems not, but I cannot find documentation in this respect.
