You'll find the pkg tarballs in /var/cache/pkg -- if you copy that to
your USB drive or whatever you should be able to install them while
off-line.  pkg(8) will not be happy if it can't update the package
catalogue though, but you should be able to use 'pkg add filename.txz'
or 'pkg install -U filename.txz' to install.

	Cheers,
