>Description:
Just opening this ticket to keep track...

FreeBSD's pkg_add has useful switch -r to remotely fetch a package.

We should also have switch to set PKG_PATH to remote URL for correct
architecture and (major) release.
>How-To-Repeat:
Current way:

PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/i386/4.0/All
export PKG_PATH
pkg_add foo
