The FreeBSD Forums will be the place to search and ask for additional help to 
do that.

FreeBSD does have pkgng, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing.
Some versions of packages can be chosen, but I believe that ports versions can 
be chosen too.
The "Porter's Handbook", and "FreeBSD Handbook" may also provide assistance.

Thanks for the explanation.

Maybe you could add that bit of information to the man page?
It'd be more consistent, I think.
At least to me such discrepancies are highly confusing.
And judging from the conversation you linked to, I am not alone ;-)
