On FreeBSD the emphasis and general advice is to use ports for installing stuff.
On OpenBSD the emphasis and general advice is to use packages for installing stuff.
This is why the order is reversed.
Both systems works very similar though: The ports system is used to fetch, build, and install stuff, and to build a package from that. It's just a difference in the opinions and recommendations of the developers.
