Sorry, not on my NetBSD machine to provide uname output. Its NetBSD/i386 3.0.
>Description:
Could we add an option to pkg_add to save the downloaded binary package
locally? This would be extremely useful while reinstalling the system or
installing NetBSD on other machines by the user.
OpenBSD's pkg_add has this option (see PKG_CACHE variable). And including
PKG_CACHE in PKG_PATH should ensure this downloaded location is searched while
installing through pkg_add.
