I don't know if the way I do things is correct, but, it does work for me..
mount the cdrom... Change directory to the location of the package that
you want to install, ie: To install nv-3.3B, cd to /cdrom/packages/net.
and copy the nv-3.3b.tar.gz file to /tmp, Then cd to /tmp..
Once there, run 'pkg_add nv-3.3b.tar.gz'.... It will install the package
and report if any other packages are required to run it...
Good luck...
Jerry
