Might be as simple as putting this in your /etc/inetd.conf on the system
with the artifacts....  the httpd server that comes with the OS works
well enough:

http            stream  tcp     nowait:600      _httpd  /usr/libexec/httpd      httpd -X /build/pkgsrc/packages/All

Then you can use 'http://whatever.the.above.system.is' as the URL.

I do this with pkg_add (don't use pkgin)....
