You should still be able to use pkg_static -- which is, as the name
suggests, statically linked.
Start by:
# pkg_static install -f pkg
which should replace your pkg(8) with one compiled for the version of
the OS you're running. 10.x comes with /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf pointing
at the default FreeBSD package mirrors, which is a good place to get a
pkg package...
You can then work through reinstalling all your ports by whatever means
you initially intended. Generally it's best to make a note of wat you
want installed, clear down all your installed packages, making backups
of any config files as necessary, and then start again with an empty
/usr/local. Of course, this implies a bit of service downtime while you
do the reinstalling job, but that's hard to avoid in a major version
upgrade however you do it. (And you said you didn't really mind anyhow..=

Cheers,
Matthew
