It can use pre-built binary packages, but also works with ports. Just use the same standard port methods like 'make install clean', and avoid the pkg options that install pre-built packages like 'pkg install' or 'pkg upgrade'. To put it another way: using pkg(8) does not mean you are forced to use binary packages.
