Use the old `pkg_ng` command to install the package. As long as the files
installed with the old and the new package tools are mutually exclusive you
shouldn't have a problem.

If you patch your ports tree with the wine-fbsd64 diff then it is possible
to use `pkg2ng` to convert to the pkgng format. (Although I have never
tested that, see documentation for pkg2ng and `pkg create`).
