There is no support for that in pkg_add.  I'm thinking of spending the
weekend on attempt to make pkg_add follow the JAR signing standard (but it
will require that you have libcrypto installed; this come if you install
SSLeay).

I might look at making it use PGP, too, but that is somewhat irrelevant for
the uses I need it for (due to the PGP licensing restrictions).
