pkg_add looking in the wrong place

[Richard Cadwalader]

I don't mean to sound like a moron, I know that certainly most of you folks on 
this mailing list have enough to do without holding my hand, but where does 
one set the environment variables?

I cvsup'd ports and the src tree, and I've installed stuff, it's just now that 
I am having trouble...I install things by going to the ftp site and getting 
the packages I need, but isn't there some config file somewhere that tells 
pkg_add where to go? 

the output:
# sysctl kern.osreldate
kern.osreldate: 503101
