I'm running it on a fresh 9.2-RELEASE system with no special =
configuration at all.  I'm using the default pkg.conf:

# cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf
packagesite: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest

# pkg
The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.
Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y
Bootstrapping pkg please wait
_http._tcp.pkg.FreeBSD.org
Installing pkg-1.2.4_1... done
[=85]

You get some instructions that are important if you've been using the =
old ports system, and then you're ready to use it.

I am getting warnings about the use of PACKAGESITE in the default =
config, but it works. =20
