To clarify: the old package management system (pkg_* commands) is no longer supported. Whether you install from ports or binary packages, pkg is now required. Or rather, the old pkg_* commands and database are no longer supported and do not work with the current version of the ports tree. Something I've been meaning to do was a sort of mini-FAQ on pkg. It might help here: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/pkg.html (Thanks to robak on IRC for suggestions!)
