Although with recent developments in pkgng, that advice is going to become outdated Real Soon Now. It is already possible to use mostly binary packages but compile some yourself. However, yes, it can get messy and you need to be careful about keeping your build tree reasonably in synch with the tree used to build the official ports. Also, ingeneral, it's much easier to build your ports when they are at the end of the dependency chain; ie. with nothing else that depends on them.
