The two most obvious possibilities I can think of are: a) the repository is being specified incorrectly; b) there is indeed no binary package for this port-architecture-version combination. Does pkg search provide information about other packages, of which we can be pretty sure they must be in the repository, e.g. vim or portmaster? If so, there is probably no package for your port. However, you might be able to use a different repository, e.g. use -RELEASE packages on a -STABLE system. Surely there are people on the ports@ list who can tell you which is the best repository to use in that case. And yes, if there is no package for your port-architecture-version combo you can try building manually from the ports tree.
