However it is early days yet, and the problem you're seeing has nothing to do with that process. pkgng won't become the default in 9.x until the next release: until then the status quo ante persists. > This path does not exist on ftp.freebsd.org. Quite so. It's because of this: http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html As a consequence, large parts of the package building infrastructure are quarantined, pending reinstallation. Also there is a lot of work going into revising the software used to build the packages with security enhancements in mind. So there simply aren't packages available yet to go with 9.1-RELEASE.
