For example, I would install firefox-1.5.0.6.tgz, then
I must try:
#pkg_add firefox-1.5.0.6.tgz (and installation fails
because it needs other packages)
You need to specify the path the the file (if you have not set the 
PKG_PATH-variable) so you'll have to type
#pkg_add
ftp://packages.stura.uni-rostock.de/pkgsrc-current/DragonFly/DEVELOPMENT/i386/All/firefox-1.5.0.6.tgz

Or set PKG_PATH first
setenv PKG_PATH 
ftp://packages.stura.uni-rostock.de/pkgsrc-current/DragonFly/DEVELOPMENT/i386/All
and then run pkg_add firefox-1.5.0.6.tgz

(sorry about the line-breaks)
