You can point pkg_add to the stable packages with the PACKAGESITE environment 
variable (takes a complete URL), so it will fetch them when invoked with -r. 
You can also point pkg_add to a mirrorsite of ftp.freebsd.org with either the 
PACKAGESITE or the PACKAGEROOT environment variable, see the pkg_add manpage 
for more information.
