The new pkg system is not a replacement for the ports tree.

If you still like to compile software from ports, you will need the 
ports tree.

But you can install a precompiled package with the new pkg system and it 
automatically downloads all necessary binary packages it depends on. So 
probably you dont need the ports any more.
