ports-mgmt/pkg: 411.pkg-backup overwrites previous backup

After upgrading to pkgng, I noticed that the 411.pkg-backup periodic 
script was not maintaining a second copy of the database.  The following 
code looks like it was intended to do so at one time:

=====
                 [ -e "${bak_file}.txz" ] && \
                         mv -f "${bak_file}.txz" "${bak_file}.txz.2"
=====

It looks like removing the .txz extension everywhere would do what 
appears to have been intended.

Compression of the database would also be nice, but would add a step to 
any restore that needed to be done.

Thank you for all of your efforts maintaining and enhancing the ports 
infrastructure.

Cheers,

Scott
