The quarterly repository is more stable. If you have a supported release version of FreeBSD installed, you should not fear pkg. I am running a supported release of FreeBSD on multiple devices, one being a full fledged desktop, and I've never had serious issues thus far. The worst problems I've ever had (running multiple systems on supported releases) have been fixed with: pkg update -f && pkg upgrade -f pkg && pkg upgrade The above command does not upgrade anything before you give it a go. It forcibly updates database, forcibly upgrades pkg itself and then shows you first what would be done during an upgrade. If it would do something that you don't want, ie. it would remove needed packages for some reason, then just cancel the operation (by pressing n for No), wait for a few days and try again. Most of these issues are ephemeral. I have a complex setup, installing packages mixing from remote and local custom repository (for custom compiled versions of some packages). And even then pkg knows what to do most of the time. And like always, if you run into issues you cannot figure out yourself, reporting them here gets them resolved most of the time.
