setenv PACKAGEROOT “http://www.fireflybsd.org/”

(from the FreeBSD “pkg_add” man page):

The environment variable PACKAGEROOT specifies an alternate location for pkg_add to fetch from. The fetch URL is built using this environment variable and the automatic directory logic that pkg_add uses when the -r option is invoked. An example setting would be “ftp://ftp3.FreeBSD.org”.

The environment variable PACKAGESITE specifies an alternate location for pkg_add to fetch from. This variable subverts the automatic directory logic that pkg_add uses when the -r option is invoked. Thus it should be a complete URL to the remote package file(s).”
