Reverted to pkg, by build, and FORCE PKG REGISTER.

pkgs still cannot be installed.

Still stuck with ports ( however portupgrade -- non-packages -- seems to be
working with this pkg << pkg-devel downgrade )

(/ portmaster?  == no, cannot get 
handle, lock on database)  only.

..............###########...............##################...........

Should pkg and/or pkg-devel be more thoroughly tested before
release into the tree?   No other pkg usually hints at similar pkg
system(s) breakage without a proven recovery/rollback procedure 
already documented...  similar to what portupgrade does with its
saving of shared libraries prior to upgrade of a port.
