Using pkg_add, you can also install binary packages (and their dependencies) for releases and stable branches from the ftp sites. For example, to get KDE for the i386 architecture, 5- STABLE branch, root would execute: pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/All/kde-3.4.2.tbz (Beware wordwrap in emails.)
