Are you sure?  The pkg_add from 29/8 failed miserably, and AFAICT there have
been no commits since then.

hellcat## pkg_add -r portupgrade
Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://grollo/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/L
atest/portupgrade.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch `ftp://grollo/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/
Latest/portupgrade.tgz' by URL

(Note it is looking for a tgz file not a tbz file).

So If I specify the URL with the .tbz  directly, I get this:

hellcat## pkg_add ftp://grollo/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/p
ortupgrade.tbz
