I just read your PR and I was searching your patch, but I can't find anything.

BTW have you tried:

$ export
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/<your_version>/<your_arch>/

And later:

$ pkg_add <your_package> 

Yeah, FreeBSD has the '-r' option ... but we have the same using PKG_PATH more
or less.
