In short, this change doesn't directly effect portsnap users.

Portsnap is a tool that used to obtain a copy of the ports tree.

Portsnap is only one way, another way to get a copy of the ports tree is by
using subversion and checking it out by using the svn command.

pkg(8) is a package management tool, and to make use of most packages
having a copy of the ports tree is not required.
