From the manpage for pkg_add:
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 directories named lack sufficient space, then pkg_add will 
use the first of /var/tmp, /tmp or /usr/tmp with sufficient space.

So, be sure to check /var/tmp, /tmp or /usr/tmp.
