I guess this is a known behaviour of pkg-get

  http://opencsw.org/bugtrack/view.php?id=3026

Basically, pkg-get bails out because the package you are trying to
install has dependencies that can't be satisfied from the testing
branch. pkgutil can cope with it and that's what i use in such a case.

Anyway, it is a message that isn't very meaningful to a user and when
trying stuff from testing one is likely to run across it.
