PKGNG is a packaging system, not a building system.

If you need a ports tree (usually for BUILDING ports/packages from source,
although there are other reasons occasionally), then yes, you need to do a
  # portsnap fetch extract
or alternatively obtain a ports tree through Git or Subversion. If you
don't need a ports tree (for example because you'll only be installing
binary packages from a repository and don't need a ports tree for other
reasons), there's no need to use Portsnap either.
