Yes, you will be able to use pkgng without having a full ports tree installed on your system. You can pretty much do that already, although the central pkgng package repository is still only in beta. The only bit of pkgng that still requires the ports to be installed is 'pkg version' which is not critical for maintaining your system. Modifying 'pkg version' so that it doesn't need to use the ports tree is an open issue on github: https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng/issues/195 Patches / pull requests gratefully received.
