Since no one asked: Why would you want to do it this way? If you are using
pkgng updating is as easy as: pkg upgrade.

If you have some programs installed not available from official pkgng
repositories you are on "thin ice" and should consider using something like
ports-mgmt/poudriere to build pkgng packages of those ports and host your
own repo from which you can then install them.

As others already said: pkgng is drastically different from previous
package management, so they do should not be used in parallel.
