Please don't worry about your "ignorance"!
May be its *my* ignorance and I did not understand your question?
I thought  gated  is part of the bin distribution and you wanted to
continue installation of a partially installed distribution. By now
I learned however that you wanted to add the *package* gated to your
system. So you better forget about "sourcing in" for now. (Its a way
a shell is executing a script without starting a new shell!  Instead it
reads the script and interprets the commands as if they came from
the console) 

Now what you want to use is the pkg_add program. On the CD there
should be a directory with the name  packages . In it is a subdirectory
with the name  net or something similar. (I can't read my CD at the moment,
if I try, my system freezes :-( ). There should be a file with the name
gated???tar.gz. This is the only file you need. You enter             
 pkg_add /cdrom/packages/net/gated???tar.gz and gated will be installed.
If you cannot access your CD from within FreeBSD you have to copy the
*tar.gz - file to a DOS-Partition (from within DOS) and then from that
Partition to a FreeBSD-Partition (from within FreeBSD). You might have
to use a different name for the file on the DOS-Partition, like gated.tgz.

I hope that helps.
Have fun Wolfgang.
