True, yes, any port that has a license preventing binary packages from being stored/distributed by the FreeBSD Project will need to be installed from the ports tree. But, these are few and far between now. And a patched portmaster works well for dealing with those.

It's not perfect, but pkgng is a very large step in the right direction.
