Um, no? Until pkg becomes mandatory (which can't happen for several years) the pkg_* tools can't be removed altogether. What _would_ be useful is what should have been done many years ago when it was first suggested: Move the pkg_* tools to ports. It's too late for 9.1 already, but if you made that change today in HEAD, and after 9.1 (but before 8.4) you MFC it to stable/[89], then you could theoretically make pkg mandatory after 9.1 EOLs. To make my point more clear, the ports tree has to support the last release to ship with pkg_* tools in the base throughout its lifetime. To do anything else would be be a massive POLA violation.
