I'm not sure what exact errors you mean. The only things I see are like

 	ftp> nlist zsh /var/tmp/pkg.00570a
 	pkg_add: nlist failed!

at the start, which are normal - you probably ran "pkg_add zsh", and 
pkg_add will try a number of names to find the binary package then - zsh, 
zsh.tgz. zsh.tbz and finally zsh-*.t[bg]z to match anything including a 
version number. (The result of the latter match is then scanned more 
closely for more specific matching of pkg patterns, but that is done in a 
seperate step after the 'nlist' command in FTP gave a first list).

So what you see there is normal behaviour, no errors involved.
