Neither have I heard any reports of anyone porting pkg to that platform. So if you want to use pkg to install packages there, it looks like you'ld have to do the work of porting it there yourself. Bringing up pkg on a new platform is not a trivial thing -- the first thing you'll need is a compilation environment where you can build programs that will run on the Sony device. Which means you'll need a compiler toolchain, make, perl, autoconf and probably a few other applications. Many of these are orders of magnitude more complex to deal with than just pkg. Also, even if you did have a copy of pkg that worked on a Sony device, what would you do with it? You can't just install standard FreeBSD packages there and expect them to work. Of course, once you could compile pkg for sony, then you could probably compile a whole lot of other stuff with relatively little effort. If you could bring that off, you'ld be doing very well indeed.
