I really think a message needs to go out on the announce list (as well

no official pkg repo at the moment. I'm constantly seeing emails about
this on this list.
I changed to pkgng a couple weeks ago before realizing the "Security
Incident" was holding up binary ports. I used to install from source
most of the time, and updates seemed to be required to be from source.
But now it's just from source or nothing. I want pkgng to help deal
with some of the cruft that ends up occurring when installing ports that
have a lot of dependencies.
What's really annoying to me is that a clean install cluster, so
presumably secure, could probably rebuild the whole ports tree in the
time it's taken to get something available.
I've almost always built from source since I switched to FreeBSD (I
sometimes, during the initial installation, used pkgs), it's longer but
more reliable.
