Except it'll break portinstall -P. ftp ls will be no good anymore.
There's probably more.
Instead of breaking user expectations, make pkg_add -r print
"If you're sure you've got the package name right then this means
that the package is not available for your platform/os version
combination. Bla bla bla."
and be done with it.
