Please don't top post.

From the pkg_add manpage, ENVIRONMENT section:

     The environment variable PACKAGEROOT specifies an alternate location
for
     pkg_add to fetch from.  The fetch URL is built using this environment
     variable and the automatic directory logic that pkg_add uses when
the -r
     option is invoked.  An example setting would be
"ftp://ftp3.FreeBSD.org".

     The environment variable PACKAGESITE specifies an alternate location
for
     pkg_add to fetch from.  This variable subverts the automatic directory
     logic that pkg_add uses when the -r option is invoked.  Thus it should
be
     a complete URL to the remote package file(s).

Hay MY man page for version 4.4 does not say that.
I used man pkg_add.
Did you do some other command?
