Hi

It's in /usr/ports/UPDATING

20121015:
   AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portmaster
   AUTHOR: bdrewery at FreeBSD.org

   Portmaster now supports pkgng. To use pkgng, enable the patch in the port,
   enable pkgng in your make.conf, and convert your existing /var/db/pkg
   database. Also see UPDATING entry 20121010 if you are on a recent CURRENT
   and do not want to use pkg.

   This is optional and not currently required.

   # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg install clean
   # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster config build deinstall install 
clean
   # echo 'WITH_PKGNG=yes' >> /etc/make.conf
   # pkg2ng
