In my cvsupfile I set the environment variables PKG_TMPDIR
and TMPDIR to /usr. I thought this set those values permanently?
Are you saying these values only stay set for the duration of
the run and have to be set every time I access the FBSD cvsup
source tree?
You said "If these variables are not present or if the directories
named lack sufficient space, then pkg_add will use the first of
/var/tmp, /tmp or /usr/tmp with sufficient space."
I this is true then why did me pkg_add use /var/tmp and run out of
space when /usr has 1.7G?
Is pkg_add pkg-name -PKG_TMPDIR="/usr" the correct command format?

Yes - the dependencies are separate packages, which you need to fetch
separately. If you put them in the same directory pkg_add will automatically
find them.

Yes, see pkg_add(1):
The environment variables PKG_TMPDIR and TMPDIR, in that order, are
taken
to name temporary directories where pkg_add will attempt to create its
staging area in. If these variables are not present or if the directo-
ries named lack sufficient space, then pkg_add will use the first of
/var/tmp, /tmp or /usr/tmp with sufficient space.
