That message is only for folks upgrading a pre-10.0 installation. If you
installed 10.0 or later, any binary packages you install will use the new
format. At present there actually aren't any binary package management tools in
the base system---the 'pkg' command is just a bootstrap that installs pkgng,
which can also be installed from the port in 'ports-mgmt/pkg.'
