That is akin to asking "How do I start my boat with my car keys?"
Ports and packages are NOT the same thing.

Ports are compiled from source. Packages are precompiled.

Pkgng is for packages. not ports.  Once the port is compiled, the
ports system uses whatever pkg manager you've chosen, to install it.

However, portmaster doesn't -just- use the ports system. It also tries
to pre-determine the dependencies, which is why it needs be
pkgng-aware.
