First, it looks like pkg_add -r needs the full package name. Is there
any way to give it "zsh" instead of "zsh-4.3.15"?
Create a symlink from zsh-4.3.15.tbz to zsh.tbz on the package server.
You can also control this at the time of building the package via:
www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html#AEN647
"5.2.4 LATEST_LINK
LATEST_LINK is used during package building to determine a shortened name to create
links that can be used by pkg_add -r. This makes it possible to, for example,
install the latest perl version by running pkg_add -r perl without knowing the exact
version number. This name needs to be unique and obvious to users."
Second, it looks like it won't install dependencies. This is a problem.
Can I get it to search and install dependencies somehow?
Does the package in question have its dependencies properly specified?

Why not just point the PACKAGESITE to the Latest directory of the tree you
want to install?
