But surely the whole point of pkgng is that people *will* use pkg as the default method of acquiring third-party software, so they'll want to "pkg install foo" and have it Just Work. To say either "you must download the ports tree in order to use binary packages" or "you must use pkg_add to install pkg" seems to miss the point...
