portmaster is a wrapper around ports. Ports always use a package
management tool behind the scenes. It used to be the
pkg_create/pkg_add/pkg_info tools. Going forward it is pkg (if you have
WITH_PKGNG=yes in make.conf).

portmaster does support the old tools still and the new one.

Did you previously run pkg2ng? Did you add WITH_PKGNG=yes to your
make.conf? If so you cannot go backwards and there is no reason to do so.
