No. It's a package, and it's *not* a tgz file.  But yes, you do need to
go do some reading, and there very likely are other things you will need
to do.  As a previous responder noted, when you 'su -' it simulates a
full root login, which puts you in root's home dir.  I note that you
said when you attempted to correctly add the pkg, it hung.  It's big.
Use the pkg_add command, perhaps with -v so you can see what's
happening, and install the darned thing.
