portmaster: $PACKAGESITE difference with pkg_add?

Hello.

According to portmaster man:

portmaster will respect the  PACKAGESITE and PACKAGEROOT 
(by default http://ftp.freebsd.org) variables.  portmaster attempts 
to use both of these variables in the same way that pkg_add(1) does.

However, on PRERELEASE system portmaster will hunt for nonexistent
PRERELEASE packages, while pkg_add will just use STABLE ones.

Any thoughts?

Happy New Year 
and best regards,
