It means that if you're a user of HEAD, and you don't opt out by setting
WITHOUT_PKGNG=3Dyes in make.conf, then:
* the next time you use the ports, ports-mgmt/pkg will be installed
as a dependency
* pkgng will be used to register all the ports you subsequently
install into /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite
However, unless you take some preventive action, any ports that were
installed before this update won't be added to the registry in
local.sqlite. You'll end up with a mix of stuff using the old subdirs
of /var/db/pkg from pkg_tools and the new local.sqlite from pkgng.
Sorting that out is a one-time job to import the pkg_tools data into
pkgng's database using pkg2ng, which is what the instructions in
UPDATING describe.

pkgng will need to be installed, yes. You'll need to switch to using
pkgng commands rather than pkg_tools -- eg:
pkg info -a
to get a list of all installed ports. You need to patch portmaster(8)
if you use that -- although a patched version will soon be available in
ports. Apart from that, the ports will work pretty much exactly as they
used to do.
