>Description:
The manual page for pkg_add(1) documents that the long option to skip executing scripts is --no-scripts. When attempting to execute pkg_add --no-scripts, the following output is given:

pkg_add: unrecognized option `--noscripts'
usage: pkg_add [-viInfFrRMSK] [-t template] [-p prefix] [-P prefix] [-C chrootdir]
               pkg-name [pkg-name ...]


A quick look at src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/main.c, shows that the the program accepts --no-script instead.
>How-To-Repeat:
execute$ pkg_add --no-scripts  your_pkg_file.tbz
>Fix:
Change one line in either the manual page (src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/pkg_add.1) or the programs source code (src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/main.c).
