No it is not possible since the pkg's are usually of a different
version then what is built from ports (ports is almost newer) and thus
may or may not work if your port expects the latest versions.   In
case you have tried it, is it almost impossible to keep a hybrid
pkg/ports machine working your forced to pick one or the other and if
your maintainer then your forced into ports only.
