pkg(8) is a package database.  It can use pre-built binary packages, but 
also works with ports.  Just use the same standard port methods like 
'make install clean', and avoid the pkg options that install pre-built 
packages like 'pkg install' or 'pkg upgrade'.

To put it another way: using pkg(8) does not mean you are forced to use 
binary packages.
