What do you mean, "mess up pkg_add"?
for example, on my IPv6-enabled-but-not-configured 3.0/i386
machine, I see this:
dlg@ordep:/$ sudo pkg_add
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/packages-2006Q1/NetBSD-3.0/i386/Al=
l/vim-6.4.8.tgz
ftp: connect to address 2001:4f8:1:c:2e0:81ff:fe30:95bd: No route
to host
ftp: /home/dlg/.netrc: Permission denied
dlg@ordep:/$=20

So, yes, it displays an error, but afterwards it has in fact
installed itself:

dlg@ordep:/$ pkg_info | grep vim
vim-share-6.4.8nb1  Data files for the vim editor (vi clone)
vim-6.4.8           Vim editor (vi clone) without GUI
dlg@ordep:/$=20

Or are you seeing a different error?  Details would be helpful.
