The DNS name ftp.netbsd.org has both AAAA (IPv6 address) and A (IPv4
address) information registered on it.

Your computer has apparently IPv6 kernel support, so ftp on NetBSD
will do as specified for IPv6/IPv4 dual-stacked hosts, i.e. try the
IPv6 address(es) before the IPv4 address(es).  However, there's no
IPv6 connectivity between your host and ftp.netbsd.org, so you get the
"No route to host" error message for that address.  I think pkg_add
(actually, FTP) it's going onwards using the IPv4 address.

I *think* the somewhat annoying error message will go away if you
configure, compile, and install a kernel which is compiled without the
INET6 kernel option, i.e. so that the kernel doesn't have support for
IPv6.
