Bruce,

Not all ports get built. I think your two options are:

Build your own repository with poudriere, or simply lock the package and 
build postfix-tls from ports manually.

root at firewall:~ # pkg lock mail\postfix-tls

will prevent pkg from overwriting your locally built package.

Note, you can have multiple repositories with pkg - I have a local one 
for custom packages and use the main freebsd pkg site for other 
packages.
