Unfortunately, it did not work.
Well, not at first.
It seems, it does not uninstall the old packages (which I thought it
would)
I go from PERL 5.10 to PERL 5.16, for example and it complains that
perl5.16 conflicts with perl5.10...


This I needed, too:

pkg set -o long/perl5.10:lang/perl5.16
pkg remove perl     
pkg set -o devel/pkg-config:devel/pkgconf
pkg remove -f pkg-config


But I don't really blame that on pkgng.
