What repo are you using? According to the latest release announcement 
(http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/announce.html), no official repos 
hold pkgng, it's just a test environment with one package or so. The bad 
news is that pkg2ng conversion is irreversible:) I just googled and 
found an unofficial repo announced here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2013-February/072037.html

Or you can try to set up one yourself as explained here:
http://www.sysadmin-fr.org/fr/node/667

But I haven't tested how this works.
