It seems you should set PACKAGESITE like:

setenv PACKAGESITE  
ftp://ftp2.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-current/Latest/

and use pkg_add -r xorg  (don't specify version numbers if you use Latest)

or

setenv PACKAGESITE  
ftp://ftp2.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-current/All/

and use pkg_add -r  xorg-7.3_1.tbz  (the latest at this time)
(use export PACKAGESITE=... if you use bash shell)
