While probably less efficient than just running the tools outright, I
usually just set up a tmpfs that I chroot into and install those kinds
of packages.

Just boot memstick.img, mount a tmpfs and a /dev under that, chroot
and bring up networking, then pkg install.

Simple process, but certainly more steps than having the tools
pre-installed on the install media.
