>Description:
pkg_add(1) needs to be able to fetch the primary package file
[pkg-name argument] from one location and any dependencies
[+CONTENTS: @pkgdep] from a second location.

In other words, these two examples should be made to work.

# remote pkg-name
PKGDEPSITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/.../All/ \
 pkg_add ftp://ftp.example.com/.../foo.tgz

# local pkg-name
PKGDEPSITE=ftp://ftp.example.com/.../pkg/ \
 pkg_add /home/.../foo.tgz


Also, consider enhancing the 'path' type environment
variables to allow multiple paths/methods in order:

PKG_PATH=/foo:'ftp://1.com/':'http://2.com/':'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/'
