My apologies.  I failed to realize you were past OS installation for some
reason.

I'm unable to help with your current circumstances, but you could build a
custom DVD ISO containing the packages you're looking for (This is
something I've done with previous FreeBSD releases, but not yet in 10.x
with pkg(8)).  I bet there's probably other ways to deal with this, but I'd
have to defer to the list.
