Ports broken? Usually see this complaint when the user has an up to date ports tree, but out of date freebsd install.. Ports doesn't have branches/releases.. So if your fbsd version is no longer supported, you'll start seeing broken ports.
Pkgng is not a replacement for ports.. It's a replacement for the old pkg manager (pkg_*)
