I think pkgng will on on his way to the freebsd release (perhaps the 9.x
will include it in the base system)
but I need a solution now. Even if portmaster, is an excelent software,
it could not help
me (40 servers, and counting...) each server with about 880 packages
that must be in sync

The solution pkgng gives me, is what I was looking for, even the
software is "alpha"...
and sure have some problems, the version I tested (the one is in the
servers) is working
for me. I even tried to port "pacman, from arch linux", but pkgng is
even faster..
