Forget pkg_add -- it's archaic and was dropped from active use long
before FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE.

It's probably not a pkg(8) package as those default to using .txz as the
extension.

What you almost certainly have is not a 'program' as such but a tar
archive which may contain your application.  It's a lot like a ZIP
archive.  Try

   tar -tvf filename.tgz

to get a listing of the files contained within it, or

   tar -xvf filename.tgz

to extract the contents onto your system.
