Okay perhaps im lost in space, but is not the pkg_ materials for the packages
that are available on ftp.cdrom.com (/pub/FreeBSD/packages)?  If so those arent
tarfiles, and if I make them a tgz pkg_add fails..  Or is the pkg_ materials
something totally orthagonal?  In which case the ports should use the pkg_
tools!
