Then just switch each to the pkg database by adding WITH_PKGNG=yes and running pkg2ng to convert the package information. After that, continue to use ports as normal. pkg will keep track of them just like the old pkg_* programs did. Using Poudriere to build binary packages of your own is not required. But if you want to do it, there's a short section on setting up Poudriere in the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-poudriere.html
