Just install ports-mgmt/pkg and follow the instructions. At the moment the change is effectively to give you the new /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite package DB without the rest of the ports functioning appreciably differently.

Take backups, don't do this on any really important systems just yet, yadda yadda.
