Even easier, try setting PKG_PATH. Something like

  PKG_PATH=/usr/pkgsrc/packages/All:/mnt/packages/All pkg_add mosaic-2.7b5

depending on where you have mounted the cd, and where the pacakges
are, should pull everything in automatically. (Note: ".tgz" suffix not
required.)

Doesn't the file in question default to ~./Xdefaults-`hostname` in
NetBSD? I prefer to set XENVIRONMENT so I don't have to chase it down.
So in ~/.xsession, I have

  XENVIRONMENT=~/.Xresources; export XENVIRONMENT

and then the resource settings go in ~/.Xresources, naturally.

You can always grok the correct name for any particular app from the
name of the default resources file in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/. You can get more ideas for what to
set in there. Some files are even commented.
