Ok, but the follows command:

#pkg_add
ftp://packages.stura.uni-rostock.de/pkgsrc-current/DragonFly/1.6.0-RELEASE/i386/All/firefox-1.5.0.6.tgz
don't install the packages wich need for firefox
installation. So, installation fails because it needs
to install before other packages.
pkg_add check dependencies, but it don't install
automatically those packages wich need.
It should as far as I can tell from reading man pkg_add (look in the 
Technical Details section, item 3). However it might be that one or more 
of the packages needed is not found in the path specified which will 
cause the install to fail.
