Are they all using ports now?  Then just switch each to the pkg database 
by adding WITH_PKGNG=yes and running pkg2ng to convert the package 
information.  After that, continue to use ports as normal.  pkg will 
keep track of them just like the old pkg_* programs did.

Using Poudriere to build binary packages of your own is not required. 
But if you want to do it, there's a short section on setting up 
Poudriere in the Handbook:
