I think you're mixing up binary packages and pkgsrc.

You probably need to do this:

cd pkgtools/lintpkgsrc
make package
or
make install

pkg_add needs to be done on a binary package, generally something that
ends with .tgz.

Unless I'm way behind the times and I'm missing something, which is
entirely possible.
