Ports are not to be mixed with packages.
If you are using "ports" and "packages" solely in
"FreeBSD Terms", then this isn't correct*. Once installed,
there is no/little-if-any difference; /var/db/pkg is
common to both, and the standard package tools operate
equally well for upgrading and/or de-installation.
I'm not trying to stomp anyone, but this is an area
that confused me Once Upon A Time, and we don't do
anyone any favors by continuing to propagate this
statement as an axiom.
