You mean the .tgz files, right?  They stay where they were when you unpacked
them.  For example, if you're installing a package from a cd, the tarball
is extracted and all the files go into their proper directories and a directory
is placed under /var/db/pkg with all the information needed to pkg_delete it 
just like with a port.  But the tarball stays on the cd.  You don't get a copy 
on your hard drive.
