Completely off topic, but... Has the periodic script for checking 
security issues in ports been updated to do this?  Is there any simple 
way to detect if pkgng is in use from a shell script and if that's the 
case, run this rather than portaudit.  From my understanding of things, 
portaudit is not supported (or perhaps not needed) when using pkgng.
