changing the package path variable

[Nikolas Britton]

No that didn't work... I upgrade the system to 5-STABLE via buildworld
and the package path directory is, obviously, correct now. Updating
and recompiling the whole system should not be easier then figuring
out what variable is used to change the ftp package path, thanks for
your help guys.
