As it has already been suggested, it may be that you missed some
dependencies. I'll equip you with my (dirtily hacked) pkg_download
script so you can be sure to have all the dependencies. You can
delete the -n option if you wish to download AND install the
packages. The default behaviour is to fetch them only. (Original
intention: Download package and dependencies on system A with
Internet access, copy the result to system B without Internet
access, and then install them there.)

if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
echo "$0 <package>"
exit 1

echo -n "fetching $1 ... "
if [ -f $1.tbz ]; then
echo "$1.tbz already there"
exit 1
fi
pkg_add -fKnrv $1 > $1.txt 2>&1
# -f = force, -K = keep, -n = no install, -r = remote, -v = verbose
echo "done"
for DEP in `cat $1.txt | grep $1 | grep "depends on" | cut -d "'" -f 6 | cut -d "/" -f 2`; do
echo "dependency for $1 is ${DEP}"
$0 ${DEP}
done
rm $1.txt
exit 0
