Ports are pointless, there's not two ways about it. You download software to use it not compile it. Compiling ports can take up to 2 days to compile and there are often broken dependencies. I'll never have this with a Linux package manager and no pkgng is terrible. Pkgng is way behind virtually all Linux pkg managers, it cannot handle conflicts properly. When ever there's a change in the name of the package say (python 2.6 to python 2.7) pkgng upgrade thinks it's a conflict and refuses to upgrade. Such things never occur in a Linux pkg manager. Also, pkgng is very slower then many linux package managers not to mention allegations of code thief and GPL violations against apt-get.
Anyone using a GNU utility is unfortunately contributing to the problem of free software.
