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.
