No, you need to set environment variables in your ~/.login or ~/.profile to
make them 'permanent'. See the manual page for your shell ('man tcsh'
for the FreeBSD default shell).

That was a quote from the manual page. See 'man pkg_add'.

I don't know; obviously the manual page is incorrect about this.
You should send a problem report so that this information can be
corrected. You can do this using the 'send-pr' command or online
at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html.
> Is pkg_add pkg-name -PKG_TMPDIR="/usr" the correct command format?
No, use this:
env PKG_TMPDIR=/usr/tmp pkg_add pkg-name
Make sure /usr/tmp exists, is writable, and is empty. I do not recommend
using /usr for this.
