When I cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg

I'm using FreeBSD 9 RELEASE

What dumb mistake am I making?

Did you type everything perfectly? Happens to me where I'll type the name of something but forget a hyphen or something silly like that.

Nope... I have no "pkg" subdirectory under "/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/"

then... you haven't updated your local ports tree

portsnap fetch update
or if you've never done it before, more likely
portsnap fetch extract

Since I haven't seen it mentioned already, you're going to have problems with whatever tool you're used to using for compiling and upgrading ports (for me it was portmaster) unless you

cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster
make deinstall clean
make config
make install

and enable the PKGNG patch in the config step.
