pkg_manage it actually an outdated tool which originated in the days 
when /usr/ports/packages was a single, flat directory without 
categorization information (and the number of packages we had was 
less than half the number we have now).  Going to a multi-directory 
scheme broke pkg_manage pretty significantly, and it's never been that 
usable since.  Something based on the package installer in sysinstall 
(but far easier to use) is forthcoming shortly to replace this.
