Yes you can.  portmaster(8) understands how to use pkg(8) commands on a
pkgng-ized system.  Mostly it works in exactly the same way as it does
with the old style pkg_tools: the exception is if you use portmaster to
create a cache of pre-compiled packages -- ironically, that doesn't work
with pkg(8)[*].  We recommend poudriere(8) for that sort of use case.

	Cheers,

	Matthew

[*] Although it should be possible to create a repo from portmaster's
package cache.  Hmmm.... patches welcome.
