The new pkg obsoletes the traditional pkg_* tools which operate on binary packages which get built (by FreeBSD build systems) using the corresponding port's default settings. If you need to use custom-configured packages (build via "make install clean" or using a port management tool such as portmaster), this does currently not integrate that well with pkg. However, "poudriere" is a solution: You build packages with your own options and can _then_ use that package source with pkg.
