I wasn't clear on that point. Thanks.

No, pkgng integrates perfectly with Ports.  I have WITH_PKGNG=yes on 
almost all of my systems.  I was following up about the package repo, 
which is still empty.  I do like the speed increase of pkg-version over 
pkg_version.

What can the lowly sysadmin do to speed up getting the pkgng package repo?
