I guess you may use;
-f Force installation to proceed even if prerequisite packages are
not installed or the requirements script fails. Although pkg_add
will still try to find and auto-install missing prerequisite
packages, a failure to find one will not be fatal.
I think that you will still be able to use packages without any problem
even though you see some error messages.
