Issue with Handbook section 5.2

[Jacob Helwig]

In going through the FreeBSD Handbook (as of Sun Dec  7 02:44:11 UTC 2014), section 5.2 (Overview of Software Installation) mentions using ports-mgmt/portaudit to check for security issues.  Unfortunately, portaudit was removed from ports on October 13th[0].

The commit that removed it says that “pkg audit” should be used instead ("portaudit expired when pkg_tools did, use pkg audit”), but as someone pretty new to FreeBSD, it’s not clear that this would be appropriate for ports usage.  Is “pkg audit” appropriate?  The language in the warning section of this Handbook section suggests that “pkg audit” isn’t appropriate outside of package use.  If “pkg audit” isn’t appropriate, what should be used instead?
