100% yes.
If someone needs pkg_* support for an older tree then they can simply
install a portmaster from that older tree.
Pkg has been the only tool since at least 10.0+ which itself has been
EOL since Feb 28 2015. If someone is still somehow depending on pkg_
tools by now with a current ports tree (HOW??) then they are definitely
on their own.
