I forgot to mention in my last reply: You aren't clear whether you deliberately have no internet connection, or whether your aim is to connect to the internet by way of installing pkg. Because pkg won't actually help you connect to the Internet. Also, for all intents and purposes, once the base system is properly installed from CD, it is "fully functional". Installing software using pkg means you are installing software that is not part of FreeBSD. By the way, it's been some time since I did it, so my memory is foggy, but the FreeBSD installer itself should've given you the opportunity to install packages from the installation DVD, which would've installed pkg.
