'pkg' is the next generation packaging (pkgng). These are the older =
style, usable with something like pkg_add. Example:

# setenv PACKAGESITE =
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/FreeBSD-Unofficial-Packages/91amd64-default/=
Latest/
# pkg_add -r gmake
Fetching =
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/FreeBSD-Unofficial-Packages/91amd64-default/=
Latest/gmake.tbz... Done.
#

We can build pkgng style packages if there's demand for it, but we're =
not using it internally right now so they aren't being built.
