This is still a beta, so I'm afraid you'll have to bear with us.
Building a package set takes several days with extremely powerful
machines (this is for one architecture, one FreeBSD version).

Once pkgng becomes the main target for package builds, you will have
your security fixes on time.  Until then, you will have to build from
ports.
