    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.
