If you're interested, we've set up an unofficial but public pkgng format =
repository at

http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng

To use these packages, just set your PACKAGESITE variable in =
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf like so,=20

PACKAGESITE	    : =
http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng/${ABI}/latest

These have FreeBSD 8 and 9, i386 and amd64 kernel pkgng format packages =
for the whole ports tree,
build failures notwithstanding.

You'll have to explicitly make the decision to trust or not these
builds, of course, but all are welcome to use them until the official
ones are available.
