Here are the commands I had to run to get things working on my FreeBSD 9.0 box that was still using old pkg_ tools.
# portsclean -C

Solution Code:
pkg_add -r http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/devel/bmake-20111111.tbz cp /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/make.old rm /usr/bin/make ln -sv /usr/local/bin/bmake /usr/bin/make cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg make -m /usr/share/mk UPGRADEPKG=1 install clean pkg2ng
To use ports after this, I have to run make -m /usr/share/mk instead of make.
