When you try to build any port from source, pkg is built first.  You can 
also built pkg by "cd /usr/dports/ports-mgmt/pkg && make install".
At that point you could install binaries if you had a repository.

/usr/pkgsrc can stay.
I'd would recommend "mv /usr/pkg /usr/pkg.moved" so the conflict 
resolution isn't so drastic.

xfce 4.10 might be for you then for the basic desktop.
