We generally don't refer to pkgng in the docs: please use "pkg".

Well, I saw pkg written as "pkgng" in some other section (5.2.2.2.
"PORTEPOCH") of the Porter's Handbook.  Actually, I prefer to write it
as pkg(8), but I am not sure if there has been a DocBook entity
defined for it.

Just checked, and presently there is no man page entity for it. Using a man page entity might be questionable anyway: there is no man page for pkg on FreeBSD 9 and earlier unless ports-mgmt/pkg has been installed. (I'm not going to mention /usr/sbin/pkg, which should not have been given the same name because now we can't tell which "pkg" is being discussed. See how I didn't mention it there?)

Further, I'd put the pkg cases first as the pkg_ tools are deprecated.

I do not think that matters much.

Agreed. Actually, until pkg_* is deprecated for 9.x and earlier, it is by far the most common.
