Pkg_add doesn't care about the proxy. Most of this is convered in the Handbook. Sysinstall sort of bypasses the port system and causes problems later. Using the port system immediately doesn't have any problems. You may have to fight getting cvsup to work through your proxy but that is all I can think of. You just have to have a /usr/ports/INDEX that is consistent with your packages. In order to maintain the ports, you have to be able to cvsup ports-all and remake INDEX.
